商品簡介
In 21 selected papers from an international conference in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1995, archaeologists from four continents share their experience in investigating human interactions with wetlands and demonstrate the importance of such terrain in the development of human societies throughout the ages. They cover human adaptations to wetland environments, past and present perspectives on wet sites, fishing technologies on the northwest coast of North America, and practical preservation and conservation. Other areas described include Boston's Back Bay, southeast England, the ancient Maya in Quintana Roo, the Russian far east, Sweden, Poland, and New Zealand.
