Marine Geoarchaeology
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2014
The application of earth science techniques to the study of aquatic archaeological sites has become increasingly important for spatially mapping underwater sites but also for understanding environmental and site formation processes. Increasing interest in how humans have interacted with the landscape has lead to innovative applications of geophysical, sedimentological, geochemical and paleontological techniques to archaeological contexts. This session will highlight the breadth of recent developments in marine geoarchaeology emphasizing the inter-disciplinary potential of this growing area of research.
