Geoarchaeology of River Valleys

Rivers play a significant role in the natural environment in the process of culture and social pattern formation from the Palaeolithic up to recent times. The papers in the volume concentrate on the following topics: how the interrelationship between man and the natural environment contributed to changes in the settlement network system and economy; the river valley in context of climatic and cultural changes; the river as a means of communication; the river as a border between communities; and the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on the Late Glacial-Holocene evolution of river valleys.European Association of Archaeologists, Meeting Staff is the author of 'Geoarchaeology of River Valleys', published 2004 under ISBN 9789638046482 and ISBN 9638046481.
