Reading the Human Record

The Human Record isn't always written in human tools, ruins, earthworks and midden piles. Often the bigger changes on the record are written in the human affected environment!
Terra Nostra specializes in reading the human record through the subtle changes people have left behind.

 

Water has always been critical to life and human habitation, from springs and streams for domestic use to canals, marshes and fields for harvesting, gathering and cultivation. Wherever water was used, changes were set in motion.

 

Our experts in Micropaleontology, Paleoecology, Limnogeology and Geoarchaeology can read and interpret the human record written in the soils, sediments and alluvium. Our services can give your project a fullness of understanding over a continuum of time.

 

The links to the left will show you some of what we do and the resources that we can bring to bear on your projects. With years of experience and a deep understanding of the forces of nature and the impacts people have had on the environment, we can lay out many facets of the past and bring context to the traditional information available to researchers.
