Autorenporträt
Christian Isendahl is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the Department of Historical Studies, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He is interested in issues of long-term sustainability and resilience, and applies a historical ecological lens to study urbanism, farming systems, water management, and socio-political organization in the past, particularly in the Maya Lowlands, the Central Andes, and the Amazon Basin. He has a strong interest in exploring, detailing, and discussing how archaeological research can generate knowledge about the past, and about long-term processes that provide practical insights for addressing contemporary challenges. Daryl Stump has worked as an archaeologist for over 25 years, and has particular research interests in the archaeology of agricultural systems, the later archaeology of East Africa, and in the role of long-term data in assessing the function and sustainability of farming practices. He currently heads the 'Archaeology of Agricultural Resilience in Eastern Africa' project (AAREA), funded by the European Research Council, which is examining the long-term sustainability of two East African agricultural systems (Engaruka in Tanzania and Konso in Ethiopia) through a combination of archaeological, geoarchaeological, archaeobotanical, and modelling techniques.
