Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of geology and archaeology to study the relationship between human activity and the Earth's physical environment. By analyzing soil, sediments, and landforms, geoarchaeologists can uncover how ancient people interacted with their surroundings, including how they adapted to climate changes and natural disasters. This field also helps in locating archaeological sites by understanding the geological processes that shape landscapes. Techniques such as stratigraphy and sediment analysis allow researchers to date artifacts and understand the context in which they were found, providing valuable insights into past human behaviors and cultures.
