The formation and modification of past soils, and occupation sequences can be examined primarily through the use of soil micromorphological techniques and various physical and geo-chemical techniques. This short text aims to explain some of the basics of geoarchaeological approaches and research design used to tackle the investigation of landscapes and settlement archaeology, and the application of soil micromorphology to archaeological situations. The intention is to present a basic handbook of good practice, with case studies and examples, that any archaeologist or aspiring geoarchaeologist can use."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aStudying scientific archaeology. 606 $aArchaeological geology$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aLandscape archaeology$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 608 $aHandbook 608 $ahandbooks.$2aat 608 $aHandbooks and manuals$2fast 608 $aHandbooks and manuals.$2lcgft 608 $aGuides et manuels.$2rvmgf 615 0$aArchaeological geology 615 0$aLandscape archaeology 676 $a820.1 686 $aNF 1140$2rvk 700 $aFrench$b C.
