Point Pattern Analysis (PPA) has gained momentum in archaeological research, particularly site distribution pattern recognition compared to supra-regional environmental variables. While PPA is now a statistically well-established method, most of the data necessary for analyses are not freely accessible, complicating reproducibility and transparency. In this article, we present fully reproducible methodical framework using an open access database sites located south-west Germany source...

<title>Abstract</title> The surge in data availability and methodological advancements over the last decades has enabled archaeologists to develop more robust data-driven models, which are essential for reconstructing ancient human history. However, despite their potential, these datasets pose significant challenges due heterogeneity inherent uncertainties. A common limitation is low chronological resolution of many datasets, often compels rely on proxies such as radiocarbon date frequency...

<title>Abstract</title> The emergence of sedentary farming economies, especially in contexts intensified by plow agriculture, has been argued to underpin marked increases economic inequality and its intergenerational transmission across Eurasia. To assess this presumed causal relationship, we examine relational (burials) material (house sizes) inequalities the Carpathian Basin, a large region central Europe, from time first farmers arrived southeastern Europe through next five millennia...

<title>Abstract</title> In a study on the occurrence of trauma in prehistoric graves Central Europe, evidence violence over period more than 6000 years is presented diachronically for first time. Ups and downs sequence are recognisable 23,000 graves. Comparing it to our proxies social organization societies, an inverse relationship appears: higher levels inequality lower signals violence. We interpret this as expression monopolisation through political power. addition fluctuations intensity...

Summary This paper reconstructs the population dynamics within Hyllie Mosse region (Scania, Sweden) from 2400 to 1600 BC. South‐western Scania is particularly well‐known thanks extensive archaeological work in past decades, making it one of most thoroughly investigated areas Sweden. The Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age periods are paramount importance understanding socio‐cultural transformations Baltic region. By integrating a comprehensive database longhouses with available data area,...
