GEOARCHAEOLOGY:

Brown, A. (1997).
Alluvial Geoarchaeology; Floodplain Archaeology and Environmental Change
This comprehensive manual is designed to give archaeologists the necessary background knowledge in environmental science required to excavate and analyse archaeological sites by rivers and on floodplains. The book is not technically demanding, but is comprehensively referenced and indexed.

Rapp, G., Hill, C. (1998).
Geoarchaeology: The Earth-Science Approach to Archaeological Interpretation.
The authors offer an integrated approach to geoarchaeology for the first time, framing geologic concepts within an archaeological context and citing specific examples to demonstrate how geologic methods can be used to interpret archaeological records and the human past.

INDUSTRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY

Palmer, M., Neaverson, P. (1998).
Industrial Archaeology: Principles and Practice.
The beginnings of industrialization had an enormous impact on social conditions, buildings and material culture. Industrial Archaeology uses the techniques of mainstream archaeological excavation, analysis and interpretation to present an enlightening picture of industrial society. Palmer and Neaverson set out a coherent methodology for archaeology which expands on and extends beyond the purely functional analysis of industrial landscapes, structures and artifacts to explore a broader consideration of their cultural meaning and value.
