Environmental Archaeology

Part of the book series: Manuals in Archaeological Method, Theory and Technique ((MATT))

Vertebrate skeletal, dental, and other materials often are relatively well-preserved and visible in archaeological sites, adding substantially to what we learn from other archaeological evidence. They are important sources of information about change and continuity in environments, site functions, and cultures over time and through space.
