Human-environmental relations are one of the most important issues in archaeological research and, together with the analysis of ecological and climatic changes, can make an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the social processes that shaped past cultures around the world. The volume under review addresses these issues alongside the following themes: the human impact and exploitation of maritime and terrestrial resources since the occupation of the eastern North American coastline; how climate and environmental changes shaped human settlement and subsistence; and the relationship between environment and culture in the evolution of different societies.
