Advances in Geoarchaeology and Cultural Heritage

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue (SI) entitled Essays in Geoarchaeology and Cultural Heritage encompasses a broad field concerning the interaction of human development over millennia with environmental factors. The non-linear trend of evolution of ancient cultures is decisively affected by climatic change, landscape changes and more.  At the same time, natural sciences which are applied to material culture, and simultaneously, delving into the stratigraphic record, reveal and document past daily life. The task of modern humanity is to preserve the memories of the past. This Special Issue is based on selected papers presented in the digital 2nd Sino-Hellenic International Conference on Global Issues of Environment and Culture which took place on 17–19 Sept. 2021, hosted in Greece.

Beyond the selected papers, the SI will touch on other issues chronologically, covering Quaternary, e.g., palaeoanthropology and environment, climate change and ancient cultures, disaster archaeology, geoarchaeological issues, archaeometry—archaeological sciences, digital and remote sensing applications and archaeological GeoParks, to mention a few.
