Resumen:
Mankind is an important factor for landscape and soil change. The reconstruction of past human activities in agricultural lands is a challenge in itself because in these archaeological areas, evidence of artefacts is normally scarce or missing. This challenge must be met with a geoarchaeological methodology that goes beyond usual archaeological approaches. In this paper, we develop a step-by-step proposal for the reconstruction of agrarian behavior of dryland environments, considering geosciences, biogeochemistry, biology, and archaeology.
