An integrated approach to geoarchaeology, framing geologic concepts
within an archaeological context-"probably the most comprehensive
treatise on geoarchaeology yet written." (Vance Haynes, University
of Arizona) An indispensable book for all professionals and
students interested in the field of geoarchaeology, including those
with limited earth-science experience, this new edition of
Geoarchaeology builds on the success and innovation of the first
edition and includes updates, new concepts and examples, an
enhanced bibliography, and many new illustrations. The second
edition begins by considering the history and theory of
geoarchaeology. Rapp and Hill then move to discussions of soils and
environmental interpretations; initial context and site formation;
methods of discovery and spatial analyses; estimating time;
paleoenvironments, landscapes, and the human past; identifying,
analyzing, and sourcing raw materials; and construction,
destruction, and conservation of sites and materials. "[This book]
covers a wide range of topics . . . with clarity and balance. . . .
[The] chapters are all well written and have concise introductory
discussions that are not too detailed and not too brief. . . .
Beautifully produced."-Michael Waters, Geoarchaeology: An
International Journal (on the first edition)
