Note(s) : "The chapters of this books arose from two symposia on the archaeology of climate
change: The 8.2 ka Climate Event and Archaeology in the Ancient Near East (Leiden,
March 19, 2010), and Climate and Cultural Change in Prehistoric Europe and the Near
East, (European Association of Archaeologists annual meeting in The Hague, 2010)."--Acknowledgements. - Includes bibliographical references and index. - Print version record.
"Rich case studies examining responses to climatic events in ancient Europe and the
Near East. The subject of climate change could hardly be more timely. In Climate and
Cultural Change in Prehistoric Europe and the Near East, an interdisciplinary group
of contributors examine climate change through the lens of new archaeological and
paleo-environmental data over the course of more than 10,000 years from the Near East
to Europe. Key climatic and other events are contextualized with cultural changes
and transitions for which the authors discuss when, how, and if, changes in climate
and environment caused people to adapt, move or perish. More than this publication
of crucial archaeological and paleo-environmental data, however, the volume seeks
to understand the social, political and economic significance of climate change as
it was manifested in various ways around the Old World. Contrary to perceptions of
threatening global warming in our popular media, and in contrast to grim images of
collapse presented in some archaeological discussions of past climate change, this
book rejects outright societal collapse as a likely outcome. Yet this does not keep
the authors from considering climate change as a potential factor in explaining culture
change by adopting a critical stance with regard to the long-standing practice of
equating synchronicity with causality, and explicitly considering alternative explanations.
