Taking a pragmatic and functional approach, this book presents:a fundamental, broad-based perspective of the essentials of modern geoarchaeology in order to demonstrate the breadth of the approaches and the depth of the problems that it can tackle. the rapid advances made in the area in recent years, but also gives the reader a firm grasp of conventional approaches. covers traditio 606 $aArchaeological geology 615 0$aArchaeological geology. 676 $a930.1/028 676 $a930.1028 686 $a15.31$2bcl 700 $aGoldberg$b Paul$0312833 701 $aMacphail$b Richard$0312834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214685403316 996 $aPractical and theoretical geoarchaeology$9807888 997 $aUNISA
