Geoarchaeology: The Past Comes to Light Geological stories are inseparable from the human ones. The sea level can rise causing populations to migrate. A volcano can erupt and wipe out a civilization. Climate can alter the soil and shift the course of a culture. As the natural world changes, so too does society. |
