Archaeology in the Lowland American Tropics - Current Analytical Methods and Applications (Paperback, New ed)

The lowland American tropics have posed great challenges for archaeologists. Working in awkward terrain, in humid conditions where preservation is difficult, modern scholars pioneered new methods that increasingly influence archaeological practice internationally. The contributors to this volume all have substantial experience in the region. Their essays explore problems of site discovery, excavation, the preservation of artifacts and osteological and botanical remains, and methods of analysis. Specific technical innovations are discussed in relation to particular excavations. This book will be welcomed by all archaeologists, ecologists, and paleontologists working in the tropics.
