Groups of people abandoned sites in different ways, and for different reasons. And what they did when they left a settlement or area had a direct bearing on the kind and quality of cultural remains that entered the archaeological record, for example, whether buildings were dismantled or left standing, or tools buried, destroyed or removed from the site. Contributors to this unique collection on site abandonment draw on ethnoarchaeological and archaeological data from North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Near East.

The book is singular in its coverage of archaeological and ethnoarchaeological abandonment processes throughout the world, including case studies from North and South America, Mexico, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East..." Angela R. Linse, Geoarchaeology
