Geoarchaeology: The Earth-Science Approach to Archaeological Interpretation.

A detailed and far-ranging textbook which frames geologic concepts within an archaeological context, offering specific examples that demonstrate how geologic methods can be used to interpret the human past. The contents list is huge, but a few of the topics covered are-sediments and soils, provenance studies, geologic surveying, mapping and remote sensing, artifact identification and human-environment interaction.

Christopher L. Hill is associate curator of archaeology and geology at the Museum of the Rockies and adjunct assistant professor of geology in the Department of Earth Sciences at Montana State University.
