Les changements environnementaux s'inscrivent dans une histoire plurimillénaire d'évolutions (climats, végétation, sols, systèmes d'érosion, faune) intimement liée à celle de l'Homme qui a peu à peu modifié la biosphère. Pour les comprendre, il faut reconstituer les milieux naturels du passé et les activités humaines susceptibles de les avoir transformés. Cet ouvrage présente ces méthodes et ces techniques d'étude des paléoenvironnements. Il s'adresse aux étudiants de géographie, d'histoire, d'archéologie, des sciences de la vie et de la Terre intéressés par l'histoire des milieux naturels au cours des 25 000 dernières années dans leurs relations avec les changements bioclimatiques et le développement de l'emprise des sociétés humaines. Il apporte les connaissances conceptuelles, méthodologiques et techniques de base ainsi que le vocabulaire nécessaire à la compréhension du travail effectué par les chercheurs pour reconstituer les paysages du passé et leur évolution.

Archaeologists today need a wide range of scientific approaches in order to delineate and interpret the ecology of their sites. Dena Dincauze has written an authoritative and essential guide to a variety of archaeological methods, ranging from techniques for measuring time with isotopes and magnetism to the sciences of climate reconstruction, geomorphology, sedimentology, soil science, paleobotany and faunal paleoecology. Professor Dincauze insists that borrowing concepts from other disciplines demands a critical understanding of their theoretical roots. Moreover, the methods that are chosen must be appropriate to particular sets of data. The applications of the methods needed for an holistic human-ecology approach in archaeology are illustrated by examples ranging from the Paleolithic, through classical civilizations, to recent urban archaeology.

"With the recent development of fine-tuned methodologies such as stable isotope analysis and physical activity assessment, the potential to understand how animals moved about in the past has increased substantially. While the chapters in the volume utilize a wide range of archaeological methods, they are all united by an emphasis on understanding animal activity and mobility patterns as something that has a major impact on human societies and human-animal relationships. Chapters in this volume show that animal activity patterns provide information on multiple aspects of human-animal relationships, including analysis of animal management practices, transhumance, global and regional trade networks, and animal domestication"--Page 4 of cover.
