In Human Ecodynamics in the North Atlantic: A Collaborative Model
of Humans and Nature through Space and Time, Ramona Harrison and
Ruth A. Maher have compiled a series of separate research projects
conducted across the North Atlantic region that each contribute
greatly to anthropological archaeology. This book assembles a
regional model through which the reader is presented with a vivid
and detailed image of the climatic events and cultures which have
occupied these seas and lands for roughly a 5000-year period. It
provides a model of adaptability, resilience, and sustainability
that can be applied globally. First, visiting the Northern Isles of
Scotland in the Orkney Islands, the reader is taken through the
archaeology from the Neolithic Period through World War II in the
face of sea-level rise and rapidly eroding coastlines. The Shetland
Islands then reveal a deep-time study of one large-scale Iron Age
excavation. On to the northern coasts of Norway, where information
about late medieval maritime peoples is explained. Iceland explores
human-environment interaction and implications of climate change
presented from the Viking Age through the Early Modern Era.
Rounding out the North Atlantic Region is Greenland, which sheds
light on the Norse in the late Viking Age and the Middle Ages.
