Geoarchaeology of the Landscapes of Classical Antiquity / Geo-archeologie Des Pa

Description: Geoarchaeology of the Landscapes of Classical Antiquity / Geo-archeologie Des Paysages De L'antiquite Classique by Morgan De Dapper, Frank Vermeulen Geoarchaeology, narrowly defined, is the use of the concepts, methods and knowledge base of the earth sciences in the direct solution of archaeological problems. In the past a majority of geoarchaeological researches have been concerned with the pre- and protohistorian phases of Mans antiquity. during the last two decades, however, there has been a clear change in this field. Many regional archaeological surveys, which have procured data about settlement behaviour and forms of land use in ancient Greek and Roman times, have more and more integrated geomorphologic studies in their research. It seems that now also many scholars of the classical past are convinced that to tackle problems and questions concerning rural site formation processes, surface visibility, ancient land division, settlement location, etc. we need to fully integrate geomorphology and other earth sciences in the objectives and approach. This book finds contributions from many different areas, ranging from west to east, from Spain over Belgium and France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, southern Russia to Jordan.The rang of applications include amongst include amongst others: GIS studies, aerial photography, stereoscopic high resolution satellite images, stratigraphic analysis, palynology, artefact distribution analysis, total station surveying techniques, road network and cadastre analysis, site degradation studies, coastline reconstruction and erosion studies.
