北极寒冷潮湿的气候使考古遗址和材料得到了非常好的保存,这些遗址和材料为了解我们共同的文化和生态历史做出了重要贡献。然而,由于与气候有关的变量,包括永久冻土融化加剧和海岸侵蚀,这种潜力正在迅速消失,这些因素正在破坏和摧毁北极周围广泛的文化和环境档案。在概述气候变化对该地区和考古遗址的最重要影响时,作者提出了下一代研究和应对策略,并建议如何利用研究团体之间以及研究人员与公众之间现有的成功联系。
The cold, wet climate of the Arctic has led to the extraordinary preservation of archaeological sites and materials that offer important contributions to the understanding of our common cultural and ecological history. This potential, however, is quickly disappearing due to climate-related variables, including the intensification of permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, which are damaging and destroying a wide range of cultural and environmental archives around the Arctic. In providing an overview of the most important effects of climate change in this region and on archaeological sites, the authors propose the next generation of research and response strategies, and suggest how to capitalise on existing successful connections among research communities and between researchers and the public.
