Environmental Archaeology: a Matter of Definition

T. P. O'Connor

Environmental Archaeology, 1998, vol. 2, issue 1, 1-6

Abstract: The aims and definitions of environmental archaeology are discussed, with particular attention to distinguishing the means of the discipline from its aims. Contributions to biogeography and other disciplines are reviewed. It is argued that environmental archaeology can be seen as an ecological subject, concerned with interaction and process. This paradigm integrates all forms of evidence, including soils and sediments, and overcomes the discipline's tendency to be reductionist.
