Scientific advances in geoarchaeology during the last twenty years

摘要

Advances in areas of archaeological science with a strong geological, sedimentological or pedological component have significantly furthered the understanding of formation processes, improved interpretations and helped develop site preservation over the last twenty years. Here, we examine some of those subject areas and their progress, with a view to charting future directions for this growing body of knowledge. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
