Adapting to Change: The Dynamic Crop Production Systems of Smallholder Farmers in the PNG Highlands

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder sweet potato farmers in Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) face challenges as they navigate social, economic, demographic, and environmental change. While they routinely adapt to weather variability and shifting markets, population growth is placing additional strain on an already finely balanced farming system ...

The Construction of an Environmental Villain: A Discourse Analysis of Upland Maize Farming in Thailand

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the
