Término preferido

archaeology of modern landfills  

Definición

  • Archaeologists have long studied garbage (the remains of past societies) in order to both develop theories of behavior and gain overall insight into past cultures. The archaeology of modern landfills emerged from a desire to find out what was behind the media's portrayal of the “garbage crisis” faced by Americans and out of a curiosity about modern material culture.
