Geoarchaeology is a multidisciplinary field that combines principles of geology, geography, and archaeology to study the relationship between ancient civilizations and their environment. Researchers in this field analyze sediment, soil, landscapes, and other geological features to understand how they influenced human settlement patterns, resource utilization, and other aspects of past societies. Geoarchaeologists use techniques such as sediment analysis, geochemical testing, and remote sensing to reconstruct past environments and map human interactions with the landscape over time. This research helps archaeologists better understand ancient societies and how they adapted to or exploited their natural surroundings.
