Introduction: Historical Archaeology and Environment

Abstract

The creation of this volume was motivated, on the one hand, by the lack of available studies involving the environment in historical archaeology and, on the other, by the dramatic climate changes that are occurring across the planet and the global efforts to face them. With this in mind, our intent was to offer new thoughts on the subject and, by doing so, contribute to the development of new approaches, debates and bodies of knowledge that involve historical archaeology and environment.
