Environmental Archaeology

Environmental archaeology is the study of how humans interacted with their surroundings in the past, whether through hunting or collecting their food.

This includes zooarchaeology (the study of animal bones) and archaeobotany (the study of plant archaeology). You can find out more about both of these branches of archaeology in the videos below.
