What Organic Archaeology Changes
The field of archaeology divides, in a practical sense, into two very different worlds: sites where organic preservation has occurred and sites where it has not.
In most sites in the temperate and humid zones of North America, organic preservation is effectively zero.
The wood, fiber, leather, plant material, and other organic components of the material culture of the people who lived at those sites are completely absent.
What remains is stone, and occasionally shell and bone in specific contexts.
