The detailed descriptions of the physical geography in the previous chapters show the rich geodiversity of north-western Europe, reflected in its many geological landscapes (landscapes without the biological and cultural ‘furnishing’). The various geological forces, acting in time and space have created the foundation for this richness. The landscape’s

Geoconservation of Human Tracks
2014In the previous chapter we have seen how there is a wide diversity of human tracksites each with a different depositional history and mechanism of track preservation. The challenge for the geoarchaeologist is not only to document such sites but also to advise with respect to their long-term conservation. At many human tracksites this is challenging due
