A fundamental aim of this book is to bridge the intellectual and methodological gaps between those with a background in archaeology and ancient history, and those who work in the palaeoenvironmental sciences. The volume also aims to provide archaeologists and landscape historians with a comprehensive overview of recent palaeoenvironmental research across the Mediterranean, and also to consider ways in which this type of research can be integrated with what might be considered 'mainstream' or 'cultural' archaeology. This volume takes a thematic approach, assessing the ways in which environmental evidence is employed in different landscape types. It presents analyses of how people have interacted with soils and vegetation, and revisits the key questions of human culpability in the creation of so-called degraded landscapes in the Mediterranean. It covers chronological periods from the Early Neolithic to the end of the Roman period. 606 $aHuman ecology$zMediterranean Region 606 $aLandscape archaeology$zMediterranean Region 606 $aHuman geography$zMediterranean Region 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zMediterranean Region 606 $aCivilization, Ancient 607 $aMediterranean Region$xCivilization 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aLandscape archaeology 615 0$aHuman geography 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aCivilization, Ancient. 676 $a937 700 $aWalsh$b Kevin$f1963-$0770019 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787769303321 996 $aThe archaeology of Mediterranean landscapes$93677390 997 $aUNINA
