A Bayesian approach for fitting and comparing demographic growth models of radiocarbon dates: A case study on the Jomon-Yayoi transition in Kyushu (Japan). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Large sets of radiocarbon dates are increasingly used as proxies for inferring past population dynamics and the last few years, in particular, saw an increase in the development of new statistical techniques to overcome some of the key challenges imposed

p3k14c, a synthetic global database of archaeological radiocarbon dates. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2022 Archaeologists increasingly use large radiocarbon databases to model prehistoric human demography (also termed paleo-demography). Numerous independent projects, funded over the past decade, have assembled such databases from multiple regions of the world.

Dendrochronological dates confirm a Late Prehistoric population decline in the American Southwest derived from radiocarbon dates. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021 The northern American Southwest provides one of the most well-documented cases of human population growth and decline in the world. The geographic extent of this decline in North America is unknown owing to the lack of high-resolution palaeodemographic ...

Updated chronologies for North American small mammal fossil localities in the Neotoma Paleoecology Database [PDF]
Scientific DataCommunity paleoecology is a powerful approach for analyzing ecological communities during long-term climate shifts like the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, but it depends on accurate estimates of species co-occurrences. The Neotoma Paleoecology Database
