Environmental Archaeology

The Journal of Human Palaeoecology

Volume 18 (2013), 3 issues per year

Print ISSN: 1461-4103
Online ISSN: 1749-6314

Environmental Archaeology: The Journal of Human Palaeoecology aims to publish contributions on all aspects of environmental archaeology, from methodology to synthesis and theory.  

Environmental Archaeology is an international peer-reviewed periodical which welcomes contributions that consider the interaction between humans and their environment in the archaeological and historical past. This broad scope embraces papers covering a range of environmental specialisms within archaeology, such as archaeobotany, archaeozoology (both vertebrate and invertebrate), palynology, geoarchaeology, biological anthropology, as well as more synthetic and theoretical approaches to the past human environment. Assemblage and site reports are not encouraged unless these can demonstrate significant new insights in environmental archaeology. Contributions may take the form of substantial research papers or shorter reports and may include, for instance, new techniques, philosophical discussions, current controversies and suggestions for new research. The journal also provides its readership with critical appraisal of recent academic scholarship through its regular books review section.

SPECIAL ISSUE for 2013: Bioarchaeological Research on Animal Dung: Possibilities and Limitations

Animal dung is a potential source of information on various palaeoeconomical and palaeoecological
topics, which can often not be obtained through other bioarchaeological find categories. Moreover,
from the Neolithic onwards, dung preserved in archaeological deposits is usually the result of the interaction
of agricultural and animal husbandry activities and is therefore especially useful for the investigation of past
agro-pastoral economies. Thus, the recognition of dung in archaeological, but also natural deposits, and its careful analysis deserves special attention.
