A volume of scholarly reviews and case studies in late Quaternary palaeoecology and environmental archaeology. Subjects covered include research methods, techniques (radiocarbon dating, mire stratigraphy, dendrochonology and dendroclimatology), records of climatic change, and interpretation of evidence for human impact on the landscape from the earliest known times. The book has interdisciplinary appeal across the range of quaternary sciences for lecturers, researchers and students in botany, geography, environmental sciences, archaeology, holocene palaeoecology and climatology.
