Geoarchaeology Research

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Geoarchaeology Research" at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This poster symposium focuses on geoarchaeological research. It provides a broad overview of natural and anthropogenic formation processes that have affected the distribution of artifacts and features in the archaeological record. Posters may identify and/or interpret natural formation processes and agents of postdepositional disturbance, and describe how they contribute to our conceptualization of past human behavior. Together these posters highlight research related to theoretical and practical foundations in geoarchaeology, and illustrate the dynamic relationship between a site’s context and wide-ranging physical and biological processes. Posters may be specific to methodological or landscape archaeology approaches, or related to sediments, stratigraphy, or chronology.
