Editors: Julie K. Stein and Angela R. Linse
All disciplines have an informal scale at which observations and interpretation are conducted. Interdisciplinary research, however, brings those scales together, impacting strongly the success or failure of the joint effort.
This volume examines the importance of scale in interdisciplinary geoarchaeological research. The authors begin with a definition of scale and a history of its importance to research. Different scales of data acquisition and interpretation in interdisciplinary projects are examined and considered for site classification, soil science, absolute and relative dating, dendrochronology, geophysical research, and obsidian provenance studies. Difficulties are illuminated and suggestions are given to help avoid pitfalls.
