  1. New Book Available
    Human Ecodynamics in the North Atlantic
    Lexington Books

Publisher Lexington Books announces the availability of a new book
entitled "Human Ecodynamics in the North Atlantic: A Collaborative Model
of Humans and Nature through Space and Time." It is a publication on
North Atlantic Biocultural Organization (NABO) work in the North
Atlantic Region, and can be purchased at:
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780739185483.

Editors Ramona Harrison and Ruth A. Maher have compiled a series of
separate research projects conducted across the North Atlantic region
that each contribute greatly to anthropological archaeology. This book
assembles a regional model through which the reader is presented with a
vivid and detailed image of the climatic events and cultures which have
occupied these seas and lands for roughly a 5000-year period. It
provides a model of adaptability, resilience, and sustainability that
can be applied globally.

First, visiting the Northern Isles of Scotland in the Orkney Islands,
the reader is taken through the archaeology from the Neolithic Period
through World War II in the face of sea-level rise and rapidly eroding
coastlines. The Shetland Islands then reveal a deep-time study of one
large-scale Iron Age excavation. On to the northern coasts of Norway,
where information about late medieval maritime peoples is explained.
Iceland explores human-environment interaction and implications of
climate change presented from the Viking Age through the Early Modern
Era. Rounding out the North Atlantic Region is Greenland, which sheds
light on the Norse in the late Viking Age and the Middle Ages.
