Abstract Droughts have had large impacts on past and present societies. High‐resolution paleoclimate data are essential to place recent droughts in a meaningful historical context predict regional future changes with greater accuracy. Such records, however, very scarce the Middle East general, Fertile Crescent particular. Here we 2400 year long speleothem‐based multiproxy record from Gejkar Cave northern Iraq. Oxygen carbon isotopes magnesium faithful recorders of effective moisture. The new...
This study re-assesses and refines the use of crop carbon stable isotope values (Δ13C) to reconstruct past water availability. Triticum turgidum ssp. durum (durum wheat), Hordeum vulgare (six-row barley) Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) were experimentally grown at three research stations in Jordan for up years under five different irrigation regimes: 0% (rainfall only), 40%, 80%, 100% 120% crops' optimum requirements. The results show a large variation crops that received similar amounts water,...
Abstract Palaeoclimate variability must be constrained to predict the nature and impacts of future climate change in Eastern Mediterranean. Here, we present a late Holocene high‐resolution multiproxy data set from Kocain Cave, first its kind SW Turkey. Regional fluctuations effective‐moisture are recorded by variations magnesium, strontium, phosphorous carbon isotopes, with oxygen isotopes reacting changes precipitation effective‐moisture. The new record shows double‐peak arid conditions at...
Abstract The UK‐based Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) project uses remote sensing techniques to rapidly record evaluate status of archaeological cultural heritage sites MENA region. Applying methods landscapes 20 countries, EAMENA is one largest documentation projects its kind. Such a scope raises important ethical questions fundamental practice remote‐sensed archaeology, this paper contributes discussion by reflecting on EAMENA's unique role subfield. We...
Open science initiatives have increased the amount of (openly) available research data. Such data are often shared with idea that they will be reused, although reuse is far from being guaranteed. Working to bridge distance between producers and consumers has been suggested as one possible way facilitate existing supplies.
The Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) period in South-west Asia is essential for our understanding of the transition to sedentary, agricultural communities. Developments architecture are key this transition, but many aspects PPNA remain elusive, such as construction techniques, selection building materials and functional use space. primary aim research described within contribution was build a PPNA-like structure order answer questions about general, while specifically addressing issues raised...
Archaeological research in Lebanon often focuses on settlement from the Bronze Age to Roman periods, while surrounding landscapes, earlier and later periods are under-represented. Large datasets collecting information all site types, such as Endangered Archaeology Middle East North Africa (EAMENA) database, address this imbalance. EAMENA predominantly uses satellite imagery identify archaeological sites threats posed them, leading recognition of many previously unpublished sites, including...
The domestication of plants in southwest Asia was an evolutionary process that took place over several millennia the Early Holocene. During this time domestic species developed distinct traits distinguish them from their wild counterparts. Current models plant emphasise role genetic selection evolution these traits, viewing as heritable adaptations arose response to selective pressures associated with human cultivation. In cereals, resulted non-shattering rachis and increased grain size, two...
Approaches used to design, build, and maintain digital cultural heritage communities infrastructure in Europe, North America, Australasia need be tailored regional contexts such as the Middle East Africa. Cultural political differences, inherited issues with technical funding, build trusting healthy working relationships across national boundaries makes this challenging. The framework roadmap during MaDiH ( ): Mapping Digital Heritage Jordan project (2019–2021) provides one of several...
MaDiH (Mapping Digital Cultural Heritage in Jordan) was a two-year UK-Jordanian project that aimed to identify essential systems, datasets and standards contribute the long-term sustainable development of Jordan’s digital cultural heritage. The launched an online catalogue prototype repository using Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) platform present collected data produced by local international research community on This paper assesses usability CKAN qualitative quantitative...
