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 …

Holocene fluctuations in human population demonstrate repeated links to food production and climate
We consider the long-term relationship between human demography, food production, and
Holocene climate via an archaeological radiocarbon date series of unprecedented sampling …

Pre–Younger Dryas megafaunal extirpation at Rancho La Brea linked to fire-driven state shift
The cause, or causes, of the Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions have been difficult to
establish, in part because poor spatiotemporal resolution in the fossil record hinders …

Summed Probability Distribution of 14C Dates Suggests Regional Divergences in the Population Dynamics of the Jomon Period in Eastern Japan
Recent advances in the use of summed probability distribution (SPD) of calibrated 14C
dates have opened new possibilities for studying prehistoric demography. The degree of …

Collapse and continuity: A multi-proxy reconstruction of settlement organization and population trajectories in the Northern Fertile Crescent during the 4.2 kya Rapid …
The rise and fall of ancient societies have been attributed to rapid climate change events.
One of the most discussed of these is the 4.2 kya event, a period of increased aridity and …

Sea-level change and demography during the last glacial termination and early Holocene across the Australian continent
Future changes in sea-level are projected to have significant environmental and social
impacts, but we have limited understanding of comparable rates of change in the past. Using …
