ENVIRONMENTAL ARCHAEOLOGY AND
THE SOCIAL ORDER
This original and controversial volume sets a new agenda for the study and
understanding of environmental archaeology. Instead of seeing human com-
munities as mapping their activities onto the environment and using it in a
cost-effective way, the environment is here seen as a means through which
people explore their social world.
Environmental Archaeology and the Social Order
presents a wide variety
of case-studies, ranging fromearly Palaeolithic to Post-modern, and from
Europe to the Andes, West and East Africa, and the USA. The book deals
with both the theory and method of environmental archaeology, with sig-
nificantsectionsonNeanderthals,Palaeolithicmobiliaryartandtheoriginsof
farming, as well as transhumance, climate as social construct, field survey
and the place of documents in environmental research. Professor Evans
interprets his findings in social constructionist terms, creating an important
argument against the use of traditional materialist and processualist para-
digms.
This innovative and challenging volume sets environmental archaeology
withincontemporaryagencytheory,andeffectivelyintegratesarchaeological
scienceintomainstreamarchaeologicaldiscourse.Itshouldappealtoarchae-
ology students and professionals alike and provide an important new direc-
tion for the future of environmental archaeology.
