Reconstructing archaeological sites: understanding the geoarchaeological matrix

'Reconstructing Archaeological Sites' offers an important text that puts the focus on basic theoretical and practical aspects of depositional processes in an archaeological site.

It contains an in-depth discussion on the role of stratigraphy that helps determine how deposits are organised in time and space.

The authors - two experts in the field - include the information needed to help recognise depositional systems, processes and stratigraphic units that aid in the interpreting the stratigraphy and deposits of a site in the field.

The book is filled with practical tools, numerous illustrative examples, drawings and photos as well as compelling descriptions that help visualise depositional processes and clarify how these build the stratigraphy of a site.
