Summary:

For millennia, humans have been coping with - or provoking - environmental change. We have exploited, extracted, over-used but also in many cases nurtured, the resources that the geosphere offers. Geoarchaeology studies the traces of human interactions with the geosphere and provides the key to recognizing landscape and environmental change, human impacts and the effects of environmental change on human societies. This collection of papers includes case studies and broader reviews covering the time period since before modern human beings came into existence up until the present day.
