The Archaeology of Drylands: Living at the Margin de Graeme Barker

The Archaeology of Drylands: Living at the Margin: One World Archaeology

Autor Graeme Barker, David Gilbertson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2012
Many dryland regions contain archaeological remains which suggest that there must have been intensive phases of settlement in what now seem to be dry and degraded environments. This book discusses successes and failures of past land use and settlement in drylands, and contributes to wider debates about desertification and the sustainability of dryland settlement.
