Statistical inference of prehistoric demography from frequency distributions of radiocarbon dates: a review and a guide for the perplexed
ER Crema - Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, 2022 - Springer
The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Climate change, not human population growth, correlates with Late Quaternary megafauna declines in North America
The disappearance of many North American megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene is a
contentious topic. While the proposed causes for megafaunal extinction are varied, most …

Culture process and the interpretation of radiocarbon data
Over the last decade, archaeologists have turned to large radiocarbon (14C) data sets to
infer prehistoric population size and change. An outstanding question concerns just how …

A multi-proxy inference of Jōmon population dynamics using bayesian phase models, residential data, and summed probability distribution of 14C dates
ER Crema, K Kobayashi - Journal of Archaeological Science, 2020 - Elsevier
We introduce a new workflow for analysing archaeological frequency data associated with
relative rather than absolute chronological time-stamps. Our approach takes into account …
