Archaeologists today need a wide range of scientific approaches in
order to delineate and interpret the ecology of their sites. Dena
Dincauze has written an authoritative and essential guide to a variety
of archaeological methods, ranging from techniques for measuring time
with isotopes and magnetism to the sciences of climate reconstruction,
geomorphology, sedimentology, soil science, paleobotany and faunal
paleoecology. Professor Dincauze insists that borrowing concepts from
other disciplines demands a critical understanding of their
theoretical roots. Moreover, the methods that are chosen must be
appropriate to particular sets of data. The applications of the
methods needed for an holistic human-ecology approach in archaeology
are illustrated by examples ranging from the Paleolithic, through
classical civilizations, to recent urban archaeology.
