What can lithics tell us about food production during the transition to farming? Exploring harvesting practices and cultural changes during the neolithic in Southwest Asia: a view from Qminas (north‐western Syria)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S126-S153, June 2026.
Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

The Social Equity of Spatial Compactness Varies by Context: Evidence From Belfast, Glasgow and Liverpool

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban compactness and social equity across three UK cities. Using a multidimensional compactness framework and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), it analyses how demographic characteristics relate to spatial compactness at a fine scale.
