The archaeosphere is the totality of many different types of human-modified ground, considered on a global scale. The aim of this website is to assemble papers relevant to its study. The site is being compiled partly for my own research purposes - as a way of ordering material, sorting ideas, and keeping track of recent work - but hopefully will be useful to others too.
To archaeonauts - those who would explore the hidden subsurface of the human world - welcome to the archaeosphere...
