This volume presents the proceedings of the Session 20, Waterscapes archaeology: multi-scalar human-environment interactions in coastal lagoons, held at 7th International Landscape Archaeology Conference, 10 – 15 September 2022, Iași – Suceava, România and online. It brings together a collection of interdisciplinary studies examining the historical, ecological, and socio-economic significance of coastal lagoons across different regions and historical periods. The chapters explore long-term human interactions with these dynamic ecosystems, focusing on themes such as resource exploitation, settlement patterns, and paleo-environmental reconstructions. Special attention is given to the adaptive strategies developed by past societies in response to environmental changes. In light of contemporary challenges such as climate change and habitat degradation, the volume underscores the importance of integrating historical insights with modern conservation practices for the sustainable management of these vulnerable ecosystems.
