Description of the research topic:

The everyday life and activity of archaeological cultures may not only be assessed through the understanding of the diverse material heritage and buildings they leave behind, but these can be traced back in time through various analyses of the anthropogenic sediments produced by human activity. Anthropogenic sediments are formed at activity surfaces, places where sediment formation occurs due to the local impact of human activity. Anthropogenic sediments are accepted to be the most abundant ‘finds’ at archaeological sites, and they provide a vast array of possibilities for integrated multi-proxy approaches. Numerous interdisciplinary methodological approaches – such as the investigation of bioarchaeological indicators, like wood and charcoal remains – are known and are in use in archaeological practice in order to understand site catchment (c.f. SCA), to detected patterns of off-site agricultural land use, and household activity.
