Data analysis in anthracology : Challenges and prospects
, 2019 This paper seeks to provide new insights into issues relating to data analysis and quantification in anthracology as applied to the remains of wood fuel waste found in archaeological sites. Following on from over four decades of research and debate into the quantification potential of anthracological remains, we revisit fuel waste discard patterns and ...

Spatial patterns of light-demanding tree species in the Yangambi rainforest (Democratic Republic of Congo). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 The objective of this paper was to contribute to the elucidation of the light‐demanding species persistence puzzle in the Congo Basin rainforest canopy. Three hypotheses have been tested, which suggest: (H1) legacy of past disturbances, (H2) legacy of adaptation to a drier climate, and (H3) consequence of heterogeneity of the environment.

Anthracology in the upper Dordogne valley: a tool for the history of a charcoal producing forest
, 2013 The study of the charcoal producing forest of the upper Dordogne valley is associated with a collective research project called "geohistory and geoarchaeology of the Limousin foresters' land" led by Geolab. The upper Dordogne valley is a unique massif of 1000 square kilometres of sloping forests located in the French regions of Auvergne and Limousin ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 1091-1111, August 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT The record of open‐air Middle Palaeolithic sites in the Iberian Peninsula—specifically in the Mediterranean basin—is scarce, hampering the interpretation of the landscape use strategies developed by Neanderthals in this area. In this work, we present Los Aljezares, a new Middle Palaeolithic site found in Pleistocene fluvio‐lacustrine deposits ...
