Environmental archaeology encompasses the application of biological and geological techniques to the study of human\/environmental interactions. Each chapter is an original or revised work by internationally-recognized geoarchaeologists, human biologists, paleoethnobotanists, and zooarchaeologists. Each study demonstrates how and why the information obtained using environmental techniques is important to anthropologists instead of describing, critiquing, or advocating a method. These ethnographic, geological, and biological case studies successfully demonstrate the application of environmental science toward the resolution of questions related to human behavior in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition is based on the 1996 book of the same title.
