Defining wealth broadly to include in people, relational connections, and material possessions, we examine the prehistory of inequality at level residential units using consistent proxy Gini coefficients calculated across areas contemporaneous units. In a sample >1,100 sites > 47,000 spanning >10,000 y, persistent typically lags onset plant cultivation by more than millennium. It accompanies landscape modifications subsistence practices which land (rather labor) limits production,...
We investigate the relationship between climatic and demographic events in Korea during Chulmun period (10,000-3,500 cal. BP) by analyzing paleoenvironmental proxies 14C dates. focus on testing whether a cooling climate, its potential negative impact millet productivity around mid 5th-millennium BP, triggered population decline suggested archaeological record. employ Bayesian approach that estimates temporal change-points rate of growth human as inferred from radiocarbon time frequency data....
ABSTRACT Shells from Neolithic shell midden sites have been routinely dated in Korea, but they not calibrated based on the correction values (ΔR) for marine reservoir effect (MRE). A lack of proper calibration has left dates shells incomparable to those terrestrial samples, and thus unusable building chronological sequence middens. Here, we report two new ΔR a pre-bomb (pre-1950) blue mussel south coast. We applied previously reported three Bibongri southeastern Korea. Our adjusted...
Abstract The Songgukri culture (c. 2900–2400 cal. BP) in the Geum River basin is often regarded as one of earliest complex societies Korean peninsula, based on some evidence for an intensified agrarian economy and social differentiation. This study focuses landscape visibility a method detecting settlement relationships culture. Two measures visibility, viewshed size shared-ness (SoV), are examined this study. Our results indicate that while centers tend to have larger than non-centers, both...
Abstract We investigate the relationship between climatic and demographic events in Korea during Chulmun period (10,000–3,500 cal. BP) by analyzing paleoenvironmental proxies 14 C dates. focus on testing whether a cooling climate, its potential impact millet productivity around 4,500 BP triggered population decline observed archaeological record. employ Bayesian approach that measures temporal change-points rate of growth human as inferred radiocarbon density. Our results do not support...
