Population size does not explain past changes in cultural complexity
Demography is increasingly being invoked to account for features of the archaeological
record, such as the technological conservatism of the Lower and Middle Pleistocene, the …

From revolution to convention: the past, present and future of radiocarbon dating
R Wood - Journal of Archaeological Science, 2015 - Elsevier
Radiocarbon dates form the basis of many archaeological chronologies that span the last

Shrub cover declined as Indigenous populations expanded across southeast Australia
Wildfires in forests globally have become more frequent and intense because of changes in
climate and human management. Shrub layer fuels allow fire to spread vertically to forest …

Sea-level change and demography during the last glacial termination and early Holocene across the Australian continent
Future changes in sea-level are projected to have significant environmental and social
impacts, but we have limited understanding of comparable rates of change in the past. Using …

Human refugia in Australia during the Last Glacial Maximum and Terminal Pleistocene: a geospatial analysis of the 25–12 ka Australian archaeological record
A number of models, developed primarily in the 1980s, propose that Aboriginal Australian
populations contracted to refugia–well-watered ranges and major riverine systems–in …
