Living by the lake: Plant food diversity in a prehistoric lake‐dwelling community in the Republic of North Macedonia

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S47-S68, May 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S31-S46, May 2026.
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

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. While fostering a rich transdisciplinary discourse, its grounding in bounded geological time and emphasis on disruption has often reinforced the nature–culture divide and tended toward a dystopian outlook.

A Matter of Scale: Developing a Framework for Environmental Archaeology in Brussels

Internet Archaeology
Whereas environmental studies are today an important part of urban archaeological research in many towns and cities in Europe, they often focus on individual sites and do not always result in larger syntheses.

Waste Management and Waste Disposal Detected by Combination of Analytical Methods: Late Bronze Age Březnice Settlement Site (South Bohemia)

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 525-548, July/September 2025.
ABSTRACT Waste disposal processes and landfill management are crucial subjects in the field of settlement archaeology. Our study is focused on understanding the processes that are connected to the formation of the infills of settlement features and the recycling of the building materials (daub and wood) and waste management.

Preservation of stable isotopic composition in charred grains: Implications for paleoenvironmental and archeological research

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 645-656, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The charring process can preserve archaeobotanical remains, providing valuable insights into past climates, agricultural practices, and plant growth conditions. However, the impact of charring on stable isotopes, especially at temperatures above 300°C, remains poorly understood.

The effect of seaweed fertilisation on sulfur isotope ratios (δ34S) and grain size in barley: implications for agronomy and archaeological research

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
IntroductionStable sulfur isotope ratios (δ34S) in bone collagen are often employed to study the consumption of marine and freshwater fish, wetland grazing, marine foraging patterns, and the possible geographic origins of food sources.
