Is Human Osteoarchaeology Environmental Archaeology?

  • Chapter
Environmental Archaeology: Meaning and Purpose

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Technology Library ((ENST,volume 17))

Abstract

The historical construction and social maintenance of disciplinary boundaries have important implications for archaeological practice. This chapter explores the relationship between two fields — osteoarchaeology and environmental archaeology — that are often regarded as distinct in terms of their material objects of study, but which have also been seen as closely related through their common production of science. Scrutiny of the material and paradigmatic bases of osteoarchaeology and environmental archaeology suggests that the real nature of the differences and similarities between them may not be those that, at face value, are commonly perceived. Indeed, the opposite may be the case: characteristics resembling distinctions may, at a deeper level, operate as unifying forces. Factors deemed to unite the fields might, in fact, generate difference.
