Environmental Archaeology: Current Theoretical and Methodological Approaches
暫譯: 環境考古學：當前的理論與方法論探討

這本書旨在徹底討論環境考古學領域中的新思維方向，並通過呈現新的實踐應用來驗證這些方向。最近在考古學領域的理論和認識論進展呼籲重新定義環境考古學這一子學科及其在考古學實踐中的地位。

硬科學和計算機應用中的新技術和方法學發現為跨學科合作開辟了新的途徑，從而引入了需要納入和整合到以往現狀中的新分支和專業。

這本編輯的專著將面對這一挑戰，並參與當前國際關於該學科在考古學整體框架中角色的討論。通過借鑒這些辯論，本書的貢獻者將重新思考環境考古學的定義，以及這類物質性研究對重建人類歷史和社會性的貢獻。

Evangelia Pişkin received her PhD from Leicester University, UK. She is Associated Professor at the Department of Settlement Archaeology, Middle East Technical University, Turkey. Her work focuses on zooarchaeological studies. She has taken part in more than 20 excavations and various research projects funded by national and international bodies such as British Academy, British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Wenner-Gren Foundation and own University funded projects.

Arkadiusz Marciniak holds PhD from the University of Poznań, Poland, where he currently works as a Professor of Archaeology. His major research interest comprises the development of early farming communities in the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia and their progression to complex societies. He is one of the directors of large excavation project at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük. His other interests comprise a history of archaeological thought as well as social and political circumstances of the development of archaeological theories. He is author and editor of ten books and dozens of articles in peer-reviewed journals.

Marta Bartkowiak received her M.A. at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, and she is currently completing her PhD dissertation regarding the problem of introduction and intensification of production and consumption of milk and dairy products among the Neolithic communities of NW Anatolia and Central Serbia. Her research interests encompass archaeology of food, biomolecular archaeology as well as application of up-to-date methods from field of chemistry and biology on the ground of archaeology. She is also interested in socio-cultural transformations of communities from Neolithic Anatolia, the Near East and the Balkan Peninsula. Moreover she participated in many international projects such as Catalhoyuk Research Project, Seshat: Global History Databank, NeoMilk - The Milking Revolution in Temperate Neolithic Europe, The times of their lives: towards precise narratives of change for the European Neolithic through formal chronological modelling. She was a PhD fellowship holder of LeCHE Project (Lactase Persistence and Cultural History of Europe) funded by 7th EU framework Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (FP7-ITN-215362-2).
