This book was first published in 2004. There is emerging interest
amongst researchers from various subject areas in understanding the
interplay of earthquake and volcanic occurrences, archaeology and
history. This discipline has become known as archeoseismology.
Ancient earthquakes often leave their mark in the myths, legends,
and literary accounts of ancient peoples, the stratigraphy of their
historical sites, and the structural integrity of their
constructions. Such information leads to a better understanding of
the irregularities in the time-space patterns of earthquake and
volcanic occurrences and whether they could have been a factor
contributing to some of the enigmatic catastrophes in ancient
times. This book focuses on the historical earthquakes of North and
South America, and describes the effects those earthquakes have had
with illustrated examples of recent structural damage at
archaeological sites. It is written at a level that will appeal to
students and researchers in the fields of earth science,
archaeology, and history.
