The chapters in this book explore the range of physical and social
attributes that have shaped and re-shaped our landscapes through
time. International authors have contributed the latest results of
investigating ancient landscapes (or "palaeolandscapes") in diverse
settings of tropical forests, deserts, river deltas, remote
islands, coastal zones, and continental interiors. The case studies
embrace a liberal approach of combining archaeological evidence
with other avenues of research in earth sciences, biology, and
social relations. The chapters offer new perspectives on what the
world's palaeolandscapes looked like, how people lived in these
places, and how communities have engaged with long-term change in
their natural and cultural environments though successive centuries
and millennia. This book reaches across archaeology, ecology,
geography, and broader studies of human-environment relations that
will appeal to general readers. Specialists and students in these
fields will find extra value in the primary datasets and in the new
ideas and perspectives. It also provides unique examples from the
past, toward understanding the workings of sustainable landscape
systems.
