We present preliminary results of an Earth observation approach for the study past human occupation and landscape reconstruction in Central Sahara. This region includes a variety geomorphological features such as palaeo-oases, dried river beds, alluvial fans upland plateaux whose characteristics, combination with climate changes, have influenced patterns dispersal sociocultural activities during late Holocene. In this paper, we discuss use medium- high-resolution remotely sensed data mapping...
Human expansions motivated by the spread of farming are one most important processes that shaped cultural geographies during Holocene. The best known example this phenomenon is Neolithic expansion in Europe, but parallels other parts globe have recently come into focus. Here, we examine four archaeological cultures widespread distribution lowland South America, which originated or around Amazon basin and late Holocene with practice tropical forest agriculture. We analyze spatial gradients...
The interpretative power of quantitative intra-site spatial analysis has long been recognised by archaeologists. On the contrary, very few ethnoarchaeological works have engaged with statistical pattern artefacts and ecofacts. Nonetheless, ethnoarchaeology is uniquely placed to guide assist in identification sound techniques development methodology analysis. possibility directly connect distribution proxies under study activity that generated such distribution, provide means fine-tuning...
The domestication of plants and the origin agricultural societies has been focus much theoretical discussion on why, how, when, where these happened. 'when' 'where' have substantially addressed by different branches archaeology, thanks to advances in methodology broadening geographical chronological scope evidence. However, 'why' 'how' lagged behind, holding relatively old models with limited explanatory power. Armed evidence now available, we can return theory revisiting mechanisms...
This article argues that a holistic approach to documenting and understanding the physical evidence for individual cities would enhance our ability address major questions about urbanisation, urbanism, cultural identities economic processes. At same time we suggest providing more comprehensive data-sets concerning Greek represent an important contribution cross-cultural studies of urban development which have often overlooked relevant from Classical Greece. As example are advocating, offer...

Numerous and extensive ‘Stone Walled Sites’ have been identified in southern African Iron Age landscapes. Appearing from around 1200 CE, showing considerable variability size form, these settlements are named after the dry-stone wall structures that characterize them. Stone Sites were occupied by various Bantu-speaking agropastoral communities. In this paper we test use of pXRF (portable X-ray fluorescence analysis) to generate a ‘supplementary’ archaeological record where evident...
In this paper, we present a pilot study aimed at investigating the impact of subsistence strategies and environmental pressure on distribution ethnographically documented to cope with drought its effects across 35 current societies in Africa. We use freely accessible ethnographic databases retrieve data how number African deal circumstances drought, ascertain geography their order measure possible relationships between them, set choices, proxies constraints.

La calidad de los datos radiométricos disponibles para el estudio del fenómeno megalítico en Iberia ha mejorado notablemente últimos quince años. Como resultado, comienzan a surgir detalles relevantes cuanto la secuencia, temporalidad y evolución ciertos tipos monumentos, construcciones específicas agrupaciones ellas. En este artículo ampliamos esta línea investigación al mega-sitio Edad Cobre Valencina, situado suroeste península ibérica. Presentamos 46 dataciones radiocarbono inéditas...
