Wetland Archaeology & Environments Regional Issues, Global Perspectives

For the past thirty years or so, wetlands have been at the forefront of developments in understanding past cultural activity and associated landscapes. The exceptional preservation afforded by waterlogged sites can provide a wealth of information that 'dryland' sites seldom can. Between 1992 and 2000, a project based at the University of Hull undertook the systematic investigation of over half a million hectares of land. In order to mark the successful completion of the Humber Wetlands Project, the editors invited colleagues from all over the world to contribute to this book in order to outline the current state of wetland cultural and palaeoenvironmental knowledge, and to provide multidisciplinary insights into the methodological approaches and theoretical aspects of this important area of study.Lillie, Malcolm is the author of 'Wetland Archaeology & Environments Regional Issues, Global Perspectives', published 2007 under ISBN 9781842171547 and ISBN 1842171542.
