Title: Archaeology of Fire: Methodological Aspects of Reconstructing Fire History of Prehistoric
Archaeological Sites
Source: Earth-science Reviews, Available Online 12 April 2012 Year: 2012 Keywords:
Archaeology Paleohistory Abstract: Concepts Which Are Common in the Reconstruction of
Fire Histories Are Employed Here for the Purpose of Interpreting Fires Identified at
Archaeological Sites. When Attempting to Evaluate the Fire History of Ancient Occupations
We Are Limited by the Amount and Quality of the Available Data. Furthermore, the
Identification of Archaeological Burned materials, Such as Stone, Wood, and Charcoal, is
Adequate for the General Assumption of A "fire History", but the Agent Responsible -
Anthropogenic or Natural - Cannot Be Inferred from the Mere Presence of Burned Items. The
Large Body of Scientific Data that Has Accumulated, Primarily Through Efforts to Prevent
Future Fire Disasters, Enables Us to reconstruct Scenarios of Past Natural Fires. Adopting This
Line of Thought, This Paper Attempts to Evaluate the Circumstances in Which A Natural Fire
May Have Ignited and spread at the 0.79 Ma Occupation Site of Gesher Benot Ya-aqov (israel),
Resulting With Burned Wood and Burned Flint Within the Archaeological Layers. How to
