This book contains the contributions to an European symposium on
"Trace Elements in Environmental History", held from June 24th to
26th at GCittingen, FRG. The confe rence was organised by the
Institute of Anthropology of the Georg August-University in
GCittingen. At first glance, it might be surprising that the
organizers are anthropolo gists. But this is a result of change of
paradigm prehistoric anthropology is facing at the time. For
decades, population development and population processes in the
past have been looked at in terms of morphology, thus describing
the diversity of human populations by the outer appearance of the
skeletal findings and by the reconstruction of population
structures. The new approach concentrates less on how people in the
past looked like, but moreover on what they did and how they lived.
Thus, research is based on ecosystem-theories, and it aims on the
evaluation of ancient ecological features and past man/environment
relationships. Research is encouraged since anthropologists are
asked a lot of questions by historians and social scientists, who
became more and more interested in the history of every day's life.
Prehistoric anthropology today focu ses also on manners, habits,
ways of life and environmental constituents as they can be traced
from skeletal remains, which represent an important historical
source. The ecosystemic approach is promising since the experiences
of daily life certainly influence human behaviour, life style and
mentality, thus directing reproduction and therefore population
development.
