These are pretty much synonymous. Environmental archaeology is far more commonly used (46 million google hits. ~6400 for 'Archaeobiology) and has several inter-language links. However, this article has some decent content that should be kept. PatHadley (talk) 16:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, Archaeobiology and Environmental Archaeology are two different field of research, with methods and subject of research that may partly overlap. They largely investigate palaeoenvironment or palaeoethnobotany/palaeoeconomy. But this does not mean that they may be considered as the 'same thing'.

I don't understand how archaeolobiology and environmental archaeology are different disciplines - to me, they're the same thing. I'd recommend merging as well. Ninafundisha (talk) 14:06, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
