Abstract

At a time when humanity is faced by unprecedented anthropogenic climate change and the increasing destruction of ecosystem services, how can archaeology build strategies to increase the resilience of social-ecological systems? Archaeology has only recently begun to consider this question. In this paper, we first discuss reasons why Japanese archaeology has paid little attention to how human activity and human cultures are connected to ecosystems. The work of Yoshinori Yasuda is used as an example of how the historical development of archaeology in Japan has worked to obstruct such research. The paper then summarizes the main components of resilience-based stewardship of social-ecological systems and goes on to suggest some possible archaeological strategies for contributing to such stewardship.
