Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, µXRF and µFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour.

Geoarchaeological Investigation of Early Neolithic Lagoonal Fringe Landscapes in the Netherlands

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands have historically been portrayed as too marginal for early crop cultivation during the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition due to their dynamic hydrology, low elevation, and poor drainage. However, growing evidence suggests that these environments played a crucial role in the spread of agriculture. We examined buried and submerged

LiDAR‐Based Storytelling About a Historical Industrial Landscape in Southern Middle Tennessee

American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 4, Page 817-832, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Industrial landscapes play deep into the imagination of American consciousness, with coal mining rooted in Appalachian culture as both identity and political flashpoint. In Tennessee, coal mining coincided with the convict leasing system that operated across the American South during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Altered cropping pattern and cultural continuation with declined prosperity following abrupt and extreme arid event at ~4,200 yrs BP: Evidence from an Indus archaeological site Khirsara, Gujarat, western India.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Archaeological sites hold important clues to complex climate-human relationships of the past. Human settlements in the peripheral zone of Indus culture (Gujarat, western India) are of considerable importance in the assessment of past monsoon-human ...

Inner Asian Agropastoralism Within the Mongol Empire: Multi‐Proxy Investigations at Sel'Ungur Cave, Kyrgyzstan

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Agropastoralism has been a widespread subsistence strategy in Central Asia from prehistory to the present. While significant research has aimed at understanding past agropastoral communities in the region, reconstructing a generalized economic model remains challenging due to the complex topographic and ecological conditions, as well as its ...

Risk, Reliability and Resilience: Phytolith Evidence for Alternative 'Neolithization' Pathways at Kharaneh IV in the Azraq Basin, Jordan.

PLoS ONE, 2016
'Neolithization' pathway refers to the development of adaptations that characterized subsequent Neolithic life, sedentary occupations, and agriculture. In the Levant, the origins of these human behaviors are widely argued to have emerged during the Early

Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 590-602, May 2025.
Sugarcane (Saccharum cvs.) is one of the most important cash crops globally. Related varieties and species of cane grasses of the genus Saccharum are also important subsistence crops in the Indo‐Pacific region. Despite the significance of these crops globally and recent advances in genetic characterisation, the histories and geographies of ...

A record of monsoon rainforest variability from the Kimberley region in northwestern Australia

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 243-256, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Northern Australia experiences extreme seasonality via the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon, with high inter‐annual variability in hydroclimate. Understanding the influence of hydrological variability on the landscape through the period of human occupation provides important environmental context to support the interpretation of the rich ...

Tree demographics and soil charcoal evidence of fire disturbances in an inaccessible forest atop the Mount Lico inselberg, Mozambique

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 229-244, January 2025.
Highland forests of Mozambique have been strongly modified by human activities for millennia. Some highlands have sheer rock cliffs and are highly inaccessible to people and appear relatively undisturbed. Evidence from the forest and soils of inaccessible Mount Lico show that the fire regime has changed over the recent millennia.
