Historical Ecology and Archaeology in the Galapagos Islands A Legacy of Human Occupation [#223106]
Historical Ecology and Archaeology in the Galapagos Islands :
A Legacy of Human Occupation
by Peter W. Stahl, Fernando J. Astudillo
English | 2020 | ISBN: 0813066271 | 251 Pages | PDF | 100 MB
The Galapagos Islands are one of the world's premiere nature attractions, home to unique ecosystems widely thought to be untouched and pristine. Historical Ecology and Archaeology in the Galapagos Islands reveals that the archipelago is not as isolated as many imagine, examining how centuries of human occupation have transformed its landscape.
This book shows that the island chain has been a part of global networks since its discovery in 1535 and traces the changes caused by human colonization. Central to this history is the sugar plantation Hacienda El Progreso on San Cristobal Island. Here, zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical evidence documents the introduction of exotic species and landscape transformations, and material evidence attests that inhabitants maintained connections to the outside world for consumer goods.
Beyond illuminating the human history of the islands, the authors also look at the impact of visitors to Galapagos National Park today, raising questions about tourism's role in biological conservation, preservation, and restoration.
A volume in the series Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology, edited by Victor D. Thompson
