Geoarchaeology

Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from geology and archaeology to study the relationships between geological processes and human activity. It examines how natural landscapes have shaped human behavior and settlement patterns over time. By analyzing soil, sediment, and landforms, geoarchaeologists can uncover past environments, understand site formation processes, and provide context for archaeological findings. This helps researchers reconstruct ancient human activities and interactions with their surroundings, offering insights into cultural evolution and the impact of natural events on civilizations.
