Despite the fact that the human life of the past cannot be
understood without taking into account its ecological
relationships, environmental studies are often marginalised in
archaeology. This is the first book that, by discussing the meaning
and purpose we give to the expression environmental archaeology',
investigates the reasons for such a problem. This is achieved
through the use of theoretical considerations and the aid of a
number of case studies, which, by taking us from Anglo-Saxon
England to pre-Columbian Venezuela, and from Classical Greece to
late Antique Egypt, emphasise the potential of an integrated
approach. The book is written by archaeologists with different
backgrounds and is addressed to all researchers who care about the
past relationship between people and the rest of Nature. Despite
the complexity of some of the issues tackled, the book is written
in an accessible manner and should be of interest to all students
who want to understand the essence of archaeology beyond the
boundary of the individual sub-disciplines.
