Perhaps the most informative approach currently being applied in the Mediterranean to investigate regional settlement and land‐use histories is that of surface archaeological survey. Yet, the well‐known Holocene record of surface erosion and deposition in the region and an almost unparalleled timespan of sequent human occupance creates taphonomic problems in interpreting the surface archaeology. This paper will use case studies to illustrate the fruitful interaction of Holocene geoarchaeology and field survey in seeking to unravel these difficulties.
