Notes: “The archaeological record is populated with thousands of communities that for varying lengths of time maintained a balance with their environment, yet over time, virtually all developed practices that degraded their surroundings and undermined their continued existence….according to the major categories of human impacts: animal extinctions and habitat destruction…, agricultural practices…urban growth…, and implications of increasingly complex society.”  (From the Preface)  Archaeological case studies.
