Abstract: |
Instead of seeing human communities as mapping their activities onto the environment and using it in a cost-effective way, the environment is here seen as a means through which people explore their social world. The book deals with both the theory and method of environmental archaeology, with sections on Neanderthals, Palaeolithic mobiliary art and the origins of farming, as well as transhumance, climate as social construct, field survey and the place of documents in environmental research. Findings are interpreted in social constructionist terms, and environmental archaeology is set within contemporary agency theory. |
