The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Cybernetics in the Anthropocene’s Wake: Reframing Global Transformations Through the Emergent Human–Earth System

Complexity, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Anthropocene has been a powerful conceptual lens for exploring the coupling of humans and the Earth system.

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 234-269, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...
