Summary

Volcanic activity, which sometimes seems harmless, is gradually integrated into multiple ecological and cultural dynamics that are rarely studied but expose the complex relationship between human beings and their geographical environment over time. These relationships are what geoarchaeology identifies in the analysis, methodology and techniques used in archaeological sites for a more complete interpretation of the record. This book prioritizes stratigraphic study, soil analysis, paleobotanical context and spatial integration of all data, in order to better understand archaeological phenomena in relation to volcanic activity in Colombia during the Holocene.
