Techniques in archaeological geology
Bernd Herrmann (Ed.)
Günther A Wagner (Ed.)
Earth science techniques offer diverse ways of characterizing the elements of past landscapes and archaeological facies. The book is a survey of techniques used in archaeological geology for the study of soils, sediments, rocks and minerals. The techniques presented represent those most commonly used today. They are discussed in detail and examples are provided, in many cases, to demonstrate their usefulness to archaeologists.
