Carlos Cordova, provides a fully up-to-date account of geoarchaeology that reflects the important changes that have occurred in the past four decades. Its innovative features include accounts of: the development of the human-ecological approach and the impact of technology on this approach; the diversity of disciplines and their contribution to archaeological questions; the frontiers of archaeology in the deep past, particularly the Anthropocene; the geoarchaeology of the contemporary past; the emerging field of ethno-geoarchaeology; and the role of geoarchaeology in global environmental crises and climate change.
The book is unique in featuring a review of the methodological and epistemological aspects of geoarchaeology. The result is a work of outstanding scholarship that will be essential reading for environmental historians, archaeologists, geographers, environmental scientists, and anthropologists.
