Reply to Jaffe et al.: Paleoscience precision in an archeological or historical context [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Jaffe et al. (1) present some of the many challenges faced in attempting to integrate climate science and archeological records. We accept that these challenges exist, and thank the authors for their comments. Our response to the four points made by Jaffe et al. (1) follows: [↵][1]1To whom correspondence should be addressed.
