Summary note
"Geoarchaeology in Action provides fresh perspectives on what is important in conducting geoarchaeological investigations on sites and in landscapes, irrespective of date, place and environment. These are backed up by a wide range of case studies that demonstrate how to discover and decipher past landscape change from a digger's, environmentalist's or soil micromorphologist's perspective."--Jacket.
