Module description
Environmental archaeology and landscape studies are key to our understanding of many of the sites, cultures, arguments and explanations that make up the study of archaeology. This module will introduce you to some of the largest, most exciting and hotly contested of archaeological arguments and enable you to see how the environmental and landscape evidence can be used to shape these debates. We will also demonstrate how important these fields are in shaping our sense of the past and how rather than being ancillary to 'traditional' archaeological methodology environmental studies are in fact central to our understanding of the human past..
