Environment Research (Investigation Type)

These are studies that examine aspects of the present or past natural environment to provide a context, often off-site, for interpreting archaeological resources. Sometimes reported in stand-alone volumes representing significant research, such investigations may include geomorphological, paleontological, or palynological work.

Climate Change and Classic Maya Water Management (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Lisa Lucero. Joel D. Gunn. Vernon L. Scarborough.

The critical importance of water is undeniable. It is particularly vital in semitropical regions with noticeable wet and dry seasons, such as the southern Maya lowlands. Not enough rain results in decreasing water supply and quality, failed crops, and famine. Too much water results in flooding, destruction, poor water quality, and famine. We show not only how Classic Maya (ca. A.D. 250–950) society dealt with the annual seasonal extremes, but also how kings and farmers responded differently in...

DOCUMENT Full-Text David A. Baerreis. Reid A. Bryson.

During the summer of 1963 archaeological excavations were conducted in a series of Mill Creek components in northwestern Iowa.

The specific investigation might properly be said to have been stimulated buy...
