The logics of enclosure: deep‐time trajectories in the spread of land tenure boundaries in late prehistoric northern Europe

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 365-388, June 2020., 2020

These processes pose intriguing questions about the deep history of colonizing assemblages consisting of particular tenure practices ...

Polylinear incursions and autochthonous adaptations: Neolithisation and sustainable sedentarisation of the Arabian Peninsula

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 119-127, May 2020., 2020
This contribution’s broad and in parts essayistic approach to Arabia’s Neolithic is less a discussion of findings than an explicit advocacy for future holistic research strategies. Based on the contribution’s meta‐theoretical inputs, it suggests two sets of theses to be tested by the hitherto gained fragmentary information and future research on Arabia’

Reconstructing the climatic niche breadth of land use for animal production during the African Holocene

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 127-147, January 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim Domestic animals first appeared in the archaeological record in northern Africa c. 9000 years before present and subsequently spread southwards throughout the continent. This geographic expansion is well studied and can broadly be explained in terms of the movement of pastoralist populations due to climate change.
