Title: The role of Environmental Analysis in Integrated investigations of
ritual deposits
Environmental evidence is now widely used by archaeologists to investigate
and gain better understanding of the economic and subsistence strategies
used by past societies. With the rise of post-processual theory and
advances in methodologies, environmental data is now adding to the
understanding of past societies' socio-economic and cultural attributes.
One aspect aiding this is the analysis of data from ritual deposits. To
investigate such board concepts multiple lines of evidence are often
needed, using many different archaeological datasets. This session aims to
draw attention to case studies and methodologies where analysis of a
combination of environmental and non-environmental archaeological data has
aided in the interpretation and a greater understanding of the formation
and possible purpose of ritual deposits.
