Publisher Synopsis
"[This book] covers a wide range of topics... with clarity and balance... The chapters are all well written and have concise introductory discussions that are not too detailed and not too brief... Beautifully produced." Michael Waters, Geoarchaeology: An International Journal (on the first edition) "Rapp and Hill's book fills a resource gap. There is very little available in book form about the interdisciplinary field of Georarchaeology... [The authors] have contributed a wealth of information about almost all geological aspects of archaeology... Any university having archaeology courses should have this book in its library, as should any professor of archaeology." Choice "A useful addition to the study of geoarchaeology in many of its aspects, and the authors are to be commended for an ambitious project." A.G. Latham, Antiquity" Read more...
