The Archaeology of Water
Ingenuity has enabled humans to adapt to life even in hostile environments. The most important factor was successful management of the water resources for agriculture, urban supply, industry and transport. We use different approaches in archaeology to explore the hydraulic technologies employed and to assess the social, political, economic and environmental implications of water management and mismanagement from the third millennium BCE to medieval times (Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Middle East and Europe).
