Overview
Choose any place in the world and identify a historical environmental issue impacting communities today.
- How did we get here in terms of environmental archaeology or history? (land use, pollution, industry, forestry, emissions, etc)
- How can we evaluate its impact using methods of environmental archaeology or science/other ways?
- How is the issue impacting the community? (examples include climate change, wildfires, health issues, food security, etc.)
- What can we do about it? (solutions, how or where we should focus resources on fixing the issue, etc)
- How does environmental archaeology provide lessons about how to respond? What can we learn from past sustainability practices?
