The First of Their Kind—The Significance of Sheep and Goat in the Neolithization Process of Northern Central Europe

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal‐oriented communities of the Ertebølle culture co‐existed in southern Scandinavia 6000–7000 years ago in relative proximity to farming communities. Despite many years of research, it is still unclear what role individual domestic animals played in this context, mainly due to a lack of dating and identification issues.

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

Rewriting the Central European Early Bronze Age Chronology: Evidence from Large-Scale Radiocarbon Dating

PLoS ONE, 2015
The transition from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in Central Europe has often been considered as a supra-regional uniform process, which led to the growing mastery of the new bronze technology.

Holocene Glacial–Paraglacial–Periglacial Transitions of a Sub‐Arctic Glacial Cirque, Fremri‐Grasárdalur, Northern Iceland

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to study a variety of glacial, periglacial and paraglacial features found in a small cirque, Fremri‐Grasárdalur, in Tröllaskagi (Northern Iceland). We implement a multidisciplinary approach combining high‐resolution geomorphological mapping, horizontal/vertical boulder displacement (from 1994 to 2019) and surface ...

A numerical approach to 14C wiggle-match dating of organic deposits: best fits and confidence intervals [PDF]

, 2002
14C wiggle-match dating (WMD) of peat deposits uses the non-linear relationship between 14C age and calendar age to match the shape of a sequence of closely spaced peat 14C dates with the 14C calibration curve.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Radiocarbon dating of deep-sea corals [PDF]

, 2002
Deep-sea corals are a promising new archive of paleoclimate. Coupled radiocarbon and U-series dates allow ^(14)C to be used as a tracer of ocean circulation rate in the same manner as it is used in the modern ocean.

Investigating Query by Committee and Inverse‐Distance Based Exploration for Active Learning as Learning Strategies: An Application in Wood Dating

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a non‐destructive method, is capable of measuring changes in the major wood components cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin during degradation. Previous research evaluated the application of supervised machine learning based on molecular decay over specific preservation conditions, achieving a ...

An Anglo-Saxon execution cemetery at Walkington Wold, Yorkshire [PDF]

, 2007
This paper presents a re-evaluation of a cemetery excavated over 30 years ago at Walkington Wold in east Yorkshire. The cemetery is characterized by careless burial on diverse alignments, and by the fact that most of the skeletons did not have ...
