Looking for evidence of deer and turkeys around what appears to be a long-lost settlement could help researchers understand the diet of that settlement, but why would a field researcher pay much attention to a nearby stand of trees? What do researchers learn by studying stochastic as well as deterministic models of mortality and fertility? These 11 articles and case studies explain the concepts and practices of the archeology of socionatural systems by showing how modeling gets to the "why" and "how" behind the "what." Contributors describe the systems and models in current use, diversity in technological traditions, resilience in socioenvironmental co-evolution, ecodynamics in settlement, inequality in small-scale societies, humans in ancient ecosystems, models that analyze specific features such as farming or irrigation systems, and tracking the evolution toward complexity. The collection closes with comments on progress in cultural modeling. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
