The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Using a database of Australian archaeological radiocarbon dates (n= 2996), this paper
explores three key methodological issues associated with the use of summed probability …

The last decade has seen the development of a range of new statistical and computational
techniques for analysing large collections of radiocarbon (14C) dates, often but not …

A warming climate may increase flood hazard through boosting the global hydrological
cycle. However, human impact through modifications to the river and its catchment is not …

Following its initial arrival in SE Europe 8,500 years ago agriculture spread throughout the
continent, changing food production and consumption patterns and increasing population …

Prehistoric human activities were likely influenced by cyclic monsoon climate changes in
East Asia. Here we report a decadal-resolution Holocene pollen record from an annually …

In a previous study we presented a new method that used summed probability distributions
(SPD) of radiocarbon dates as a proxy for population levels, and Monte-Carlo simulation to …

As the last habitable continent colonized by humans, the site of multiple domestication
hotspots, and the location of the largest Pleistocene megafaunal extinction, South America is …

We synthesize African paleoclimate from 150 to 30 ka (thousand years ago) using 85
diverse datasets at a regional scale, testing for coherence with North Atlantic …

The severe cooling and the expansion of the ice sheets during the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM), 27,000–19,000 y ago (27–19 ky ago) had a major impact on plant and animal …
