Effects of scale on archaeological and geoscientific perspectives

Abstract

The seven individually authored contributions (abstracted separately) discuss topics such as: the historical change of scale in geosciences and archaeology during the last century; the effects of regional and site scales on prehistoric interpretations; scales in soil science and archaeology; the establishment of precision and the meaning of time indicators; dendrochronology and the use of variable temporal scales; the effect of scale on archaeogeophysical research; and problems in provenance studies that stem from interpretations made at different scales. -from Publisher
