Brian Fagan explains how archaeology, anthropology and the study of ancient eras contribute to our comprehension of Climate Change. If you combine the long-term view with the view of today, you get a unique picture of how humans have adapted to ancient climate change - Mr. Fagan says at the International Workshop The Social Dimension of Adaptation to Climate Change in Venice
ARCHAEOLOGY: Broken pottery, glass, tobacco pipes and other items are frequent finds in towns and villages around England. By studying the shapes and patterns we can build up a picture of general household items used in previous Centuries as well as sometimes tracing the origin of manufacture. This information can be useful to archaeologists. This Video presentation covers a small group of items found near the City of Exeter in Devon, England.
