Abstract Demographic change lies at the core of debates on genetic inheritance and resilience to climate prehistoric hunter-gatherers. Here we analyze radiocarbon record Iberia reconstruct long-term changes in population levels test different models demographic growth during Last Glacial-Interglacial transition. Our best fitting model is composed three phases. First, document a regime exponential increase Late Glacial warming period (c.16.6-12.9 kya). Second, identify phase sustained...
In archaeology, the meta-analysis of scientific dating information plays an ever-increasing role. A common thread among many recent studies contributing to this has been development bespoke software for summarizing and synthesizing data, identifying significant patterns therein. These are reviewed in paper, which also contains open-source scripts calibrating radiocarbon dates modelling them space time, using R computer language GRASS GIS. The case that undertake new analysis archaeological...
Abstract Human history has been shaped by global dispersals of technologies, although understanding what enabled these processes is limited. Here, we explore the behavioural mechanisms that led to emergence pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during mid-Holocene. Through radiocarbon dating, propose this dispersal occurred at a far faster rate than previously thought. Chemical characterization organic residues shows European had function structured around regional culinary...
Thomas McLaughlin argues that critical theory - raising serious, sustained questions about cultural practice and ideology is practiced not only by an academic elite but also savvy viewers of sitcoms tv news, Elvis fans Trekkies, labor organizers school teachers, the average person in street. Like theorists, who are trained a tradition philosophical political skepticism challenges all orthodoxies, vernacular theorists identifies display lively healthy alertness to contradiction propaganda....
To investigate changes in culinary practices associated with the arrival of farming, we analysed organic residues over 1,000 pottery vessels from hunter-gatherer-fisher and early agricultural sites across Northern Europe Lower Rhine Basin to Northeastern Baltic. Here, was widely used by hunter-gatherer-fishers prior introduction domesticated animals plants. Overall, there surprising continuity way that farmers pottery. Both aquatic products wild plants remained prevalent, a pattern repeated...

Successive generations of hunter–gatherers the Late Glacial and Early Holocene in Iberia had to contend with rapidly changing environments climatic conditions. This constrained their economic resources capacity for demographic growth. The Atlantic façade was occupied throughout these times witnessed very significant environmental transformations. Archaeology offers a perspective on how past human population ecologies changed response this scenario. Archaeological radiocarbon data are used...
Archaeological consideration of maritime connectivity has ranged from a biogeographical perspective that considers the sea as barrier to view seaways ancient highways facilitate exchange. Our results illustrate former. We report three Late Neolithic human genomes Mediterranean island Malta are markedly enriched for runs homozygosity, indicating inbreeding in their ancestry and an effective population size only hundreds, striking illustration isolation this agricultural society. In Neolithic,...
Abstract This paper reviews the evidence for long term trends in anthropogenic activity and population dynamics across Holocene central Mediterranean chronology of cultural events. The this has been constituted a database 4608 radiocarbon dates (of which 4515 were retained analysis following initial screening) from 1195 archaeological sites southern France, Italy Malta, spanning Mesolithic to Early Iron Age periods, c. 8000 500 BC. We provide an overview settlement record prehistory add...
A procedure was employed that enabled a teacher to bring inappropriate verbalizations under control in classroom of approximately 25 fifth- and sixth-grade students. Contingent point loss for correlated with low but steady rate such verbalizations. Point gain contingent upon quiet behavior produced marked decrease return accompanied by an increasing Verbalizations decreased when reinforced again. noteworthy feature the study utilization students from within class act as data recorders....

The Eastern European steppe and forest-steppe is a key region for understanding the emergence of pottery in Europe. vast encompasses basins two major waterways, Don Volga rivers, was occupied by hunter-gatherer-fisher communities attracted to highly productive forest/aquatic ecotones. precise dates inception production this function unknown, but such information vital charting pan-Eurasian dispersal technology whether there were common motivations its adoption. To investigate, we conducted...

ABSTRACT Open‐air sites represent a fundamental proxy of the Early Holocene adaptive systems in Iberian Peninsula. However, its research potential for study human–environmental interactions has been minimally explored. In this work, we present results an integrated programme focused on open‐area excavations at Mesolithic site Arenal de la Virgen (Alicante, Spain). Novel multi‐scalar geoarchaeological and archaeo‐stratigraphic studies, coupled with featured‐based palaeobotanical analysis,...
