Determining Geologic Sources of Artifact Copper: Source Characterization Using Trace Element Patterns
(A thoroughly documented work on North American artifact c...)
A thoroughly documented work on North American artifact copper, this book contains the results of thirty years of research. The authors used multivariant discriminant analysis to match artifact compositions with specific native copper deposits. A unique text, Determining Geologic Sources of Artifact Copper will interest archaeologists and geoarchaeologists alike.

Geoarchaeology: The Earth-Science Approach to Archaeological Interpretation, Second Edition
( An indispensable book for all professionals and student...)
An indispensable book for all professionals and students interested in the field of geoarchaeology, including those with limited earth-science experience, this new edition of Geoarchaeology builds on the success and innovation of the first edition and includes updates, new concepts and examples, an enhanced bibliography, and many new illustrations. The second edition begins by considering the history and theory of geoarchaeology. Rapp and Hill then move to discussions of soils and environmental interpretations; initial context and site formation; methods of discovery and spatial analyses; estimating time; paleoenvironments, landscapes, and the human past; identifying, analyzing, and sourcing raw materials; and construction, destruction, and conservation of sites and materials. "This book covers a wide range of topics . . . with clarity and balance. . . . The chapters are all well written and have concise introductory discussions that are not too detailed and not too brief. . . . Beautifully produced."—Michael Waters, Geoarchaeology: An International Journal (on the first edition)
