Download or read book Principles of Geoarchaeology written by Michael R. Waters and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoarchaeological studies can significantly enhance interpretations of human prehistory by allowing archaeologists to decipher from sediments and soils the effects of earth processes on the evidence of human activity. While a number of previous books have provided broad geographic and temporal treatments of geoarchaeology, this new volume presents a single author's view intended for North American archaeologists. Waters deals with those aspects of geoarchaeology—stratigraphy, site formation processes, and landscape reconstruction—most fundamental to archaeology, and he focuses on the late Quaternary of North America, permitting in-depth discussions of the concepts directly applicable to that research. Assuming no prior geologic knowledge on the part of the reader, Waters provides a background in fundamental geological processes and the basic tools of geoarchaeology. He then proceeds to relate specific physical processes, microenvironments, deposits, and landforms associated with riverine, desert, lake, glacial, cave, coastal, and other environments to archaeological site formation, location, and context. This practical volume illustrates the contributions of geoarchaeological investigations and demonstrates the need to make such studies an integral part of archaeological research. The text is enhanced by more than a hundred line drawings and photographs. CONTENTS 1. Research Objectives of Geoarchaeology 2.

Download or read book Deposition Diagenesis and Practical Applications of Limestones Dolostones and Associated Deposits written by Colin J.R. Braithwaite and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This literary ‘Swiss army knife’ on limestones provides descriptions and illustrations to explain the origins and uses of these important deposits. The book discusses their compositions and largely organically driven origins, as well as the environments in which they form, including both marine and land-based systems. Microscopic examination reveals the secrets of their subsequent development to form rocks. A brief explanation considers new views on their unique stratigraphy. Limestones are the fundamental ingredient for cement manufacturing and provide both building stones and aggregates. Landscapes that include limestones form iconic, and locally protected, karst scenery, with the distinction of generating some of the most intractable hydrogeological and foundation problems, illustrated by case studies. They provide reservoirs for ~50% of the world’s oil and gas reserves and locally host mineral ores; examples include lead-zinc-barite-fluorite, and copper. The closing chapter discusses the conservation of geological and geomorphological assets in Sites of Special Scientific Interest, with some lithologies designated as Heritage Stones.
