While this is promoted as a textbook it’s actually quite light on detail compared to other texts I’ve read, as it aims for a general overview rather than drilling down to provide a lot of detail.
The result is a decent introduction behind the science and research methods but by not covering the archaeology of any period in any detail relationships between the environment and people are never really well-defined.
Overall, a decent read, but more of an introduction to geoarchaeology than an in-depth exploration of human-environmental relationships.
