This book focuses on the archaeology of ancient landscapes in Egypt and around the Mediterranean. The geoarchaeological approach has become a major step in any archaeological approach to better understand both the dynamics of settlement in ancient environments and the different development systems proposed by human societies. Thirteen contributions are grouped into four parts entitled "Geoarchaeology and reconstruction of ancient landscapes", "Geographic information systems (GIS), "Historical geography" and "Case studies in geoarchaeology". These different case studies allow us to address the following questions: the formation of rural sites, water management policies, the reconstruction of paleoenvironments, the occupation of territories and the location of settlement. The authors provide an overview of the complex relationships between landscape dynamics and processes and the logic of human occupation through the example of recent studies carried out in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Greece and Portugal.
