Environmental archaeology, or the study of human-environment interactions, is a core component of many archaeological projects across Canada. Methods, such as zooarchaeology, palaeoethnobotany, archaeoentomology, or geoarchaeology, provide valuable insights into past human lives and cultural practices. The results of those analyses are however often relegated to report appendices or footnotes. With the objective to highlight recent environmental archaeology projects and their contributions to Canadian archaeology, we invite contributions from archaeologists working all across the country. Papers may be methodology-focused, discuss final results, or even preliminary data. We welcome explorations of a range of topics, such as agriculture, foodways, hygiene, and landscape change, from the pre-colonial period to the very recent past.
