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 ...

Wet Season Carbon (δ13C) and Nitrogen (δ15N) Composition of Modern Plants as Isotopic Framework for Agropastoral and Palaeoecological Studies in Northern Greece

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S150-S160, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean wetlands are one of Europe's most vital and endangered biodiversity hotspots. This study determined the carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values of modern plants to construct an isotopic framework by which to contextualize agropastoral management in and around past wetland ecosystems.

Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 811-849, May 2026.
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.

Ancestral Irrigation and Women's Political Empowerment

Kyklos, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 377-398, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the hypothesis and establishes empirically that the adoption of irrigation agriculture during the preindustrial period is a predictor of contemporary cross‐country variation in women's political empowerment. Countries whose populations historically relied on irrigation agriculture as their primary subsistence mode tend to ...
