The impacts of climate change on human societies, and the roles
those societies themselves play in altering their environments,
appear in headlines more and more as concern over modern global
climate change intensifies. Increasingly, archaeologists and
paleoenvironmental scientists are looking to evidence from the
human past to shed light on the processes which link environmental
and cultural change. Establishing clear contemporaneity and
correlation, and then moving beyond correlation to causation,
remains as much a theoretical task as a methodological one. This
book addresses this challenge by exploring new approaches to
human-environment dynamics and confronting the key task of
constructing arguments that can link the two in concrete and
detailed ways. The contributors include researchers working in a
wide variety of regions and time periods, including Mesoamerica,
Mongolia, East Africa, the Amazon Basin, and the Island Pacific,
among others. Using methodological vignettes from their own
research, the contributors explore diverse approaches to
human-environment dynamics, illustrating the manifold nature of the
subject and suggesting a wide variety of strategies for approaching
it. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars in
Archaeology, Paleoenvironmental Science, Ecology, and Geology.
