Geoarchaeology-an International Journal

Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary journal published six times per year (in January, March, May, July, September and November). It presents the results of original research at the methodological and theoretical interface between archaeology and the geosciences and includes within its scope: interdisciplinary work focusing on understanding archaeological sites, their environmental context, and particularly site formation processes and how the analysis of sedimentary records can enhance our understanding of human activity in Quaternary environments. Manuscripts should examine the interrelationship between archaeology and the various disciplines within Quaternary science and the Earth Sciences more generally, including, for example: geology, geography, geomorphology, pedology, climatology, oceanography, geochemistry, geochronology, and geophysics. We also welcome papers that deal with the biological record of past human activity through the analysis of faunal and botanical remains and palaeoecological reconstructions that shed light on past human-environment interactions. The journal also welcomes manuscripts concerning the examination and geological context of human fossil remains as well as papers that employ analytical techniques to advance understanding of the composition and origin or material culture such as, for example, ceramics, metals, lithics, building stones, plasters, and cements. Such composition and provenance studies should be strongly grounded in their geological context through, for example, the systematic analysis of potential source materials.

《地质考古学》是一本跨学科期刊，每年出版六期（一月、三月、五月、七月、九月和十一月）。它介绍了考古学和地质科学之间方法论和理论接口的原创研究成果，其范围包括：跨学科工作，重点是了解考古遗址、其环境背景，特别是遗址形成过程，以及沉积记录的分析如何加强我们对第四纪环境中人类活动的理解。稿件应探讨考古学与第四纪科学和地球科学中各个学科之间的相互关系，例如：地质学、地理学、地貌学、土壤学、气候学、海洋学、地球化学、地质年代学和地球物理学。我们还欢迎通过分析动植物遗骸和古生态重建来处理过去人类活动的生物记录的论文，这些论文揭示了过去的人与环境的相互作用。本期刊还欢迎有关人类化石遗骸的检查和地质背景的稿件，以及使用分析技术来促进对陶瓷、金属、石器、建筑石材、灰泥和水泥等物质文化的组成和起源的理解的论文。此类组成和出处研究应以地质背景为基础，例如通过对潜在源材料的系统分析。
