Description:	This volume highlights research from the American Southwest and Northwest across late Pleistocene to late Holocene timescales. The first two chapters detail geomorphic studies from very different environmental settings. Chapter 1 by Andrew L. Kowler examines paleoshoreline evidence and inferred climate change from the Basin and Range region of Arizona and New Mexico; it primarily con- centrates on late Pleistocene timescales. In Chap. 2, Dorothy E. Freidel and Brian L. O’Neill take the reader to the Pacific Northwest and discuss Early to Mid- Holocene fluvial terrace formation with implications for not only climate change but also landscape disruption from the aftermath of the Mount Mazama erup- tion. The final chapter by Paul E. Buck and Donald E. Sabol return the reader to Arizona. Buck and Sable use remote sensing and archeological data to develop a model to identify the optimal location of Anasazi maize fields a millennium ago. While the first two chapters focus upon geomorphic evidence for natural landscape change and the final chapter identifies the anthropogenic landscape, all three chap- ters are linked by their respective findings implications for Geoarcheology.
