Human adaptation to landscape changes (EK)
There is a strong interaction between people and their physical environment. Landscape in archaeology today is understood as the topography of the social and the cultural as much as the physical contours (David, Thomas 2008, 35). This implies that humans react to landscape changes in respect of all these aspects. A large combination of natural science methods, such as geo- and bioarchaeology, allows the detection of the human-environment relationships, which never represent purely adaptive processes but consist of conceptions of the landscape.
We would like to bring together various approaches with the goal of exchanging views on methodological procedures, results, critical factors, and other research perspectives without any temporal or spatial limits. So we will gain a wide-ranging comparison of different ways of human adaptation to landscape changes
