Evidence of resilience to past climate change in Southwest Asia: Early farming communities and the 9.2 and 8.2 ka events
Climate change is often cited as a major factor in social change. The so-called 8.2 ka event
was one of the most pronounced and abrupt Holocene cold and arid events. The 9.2 ka …
