Excellent, highly recommended, 23 May 2008
For the student of Environmental Archaeology O'Connor and Evans book stands as possibly the first work they should read to introduce them to the field. Written in a well presented and clear manner it provides an overview of many issues and themes in Environmental Archaeology. In its four sections the book introduces the reader to areas they will need to familiarise themselves with if they intend to study the subject at university. Section one discusses the meaning, study and approach to the environmental from a biological and archaeological point of view. Section two covers the environmental formation processes which affect sites. Section three the procedures and method of sampling sites. Finally section four discusses the interpretation of environmental information.
Even if not specifically interested in Environmental Archaeology this book should proved useful to all archaeologists interested in excavation and who will at some point need to take environmental samples.
