  • Nascent agricultural extensification and distinct household cultivation strategies supported first population centers in Neolithic southeastern Europe

    Open Access•Paul R Duffy, Kelly Reed et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Environmental…•2026

    Late Neolithic settlements in southeastern Europe expanded to unprecedented sizes, potentially reshaping agricultural practices and household production strategies in response to increasing demographic and environmental constraints. On the Great Hungarian Plain, such population aggregation occurred within landscapes characterized by extensive wetlands and limited arable land, raising questions about how cultivation regimes were organized and whet…

  • Rural community engagement and cultural considerations in the design and deployment of remote health monitoring systems

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Victoria M Petermann et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Rural Health•2026

    PURPOSE: Remote health monitoring systems (RHMS) use technology (e.g., wearables, smartphones) to track health-related information outside of traditional health care settings and hold great promise to enhance access to care for rural residents. To be most effective, RHMS must meet the unique needs and preferences of rural residents. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to explore if, and how, RHMS in the United States (US) are designed an…

METHODS: A realist evaluation examined how, for whom, a…

  • Neolithic cereal cultivation in the Adriatic

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, B Mcclure et al.•ARTICLE•Documenta Praehistorica•2026

    The Neolithic in Dalmatia began around 6000 cal BC, marked by the appearance of permanent settlements within the fertile valleys of the region’s karst landscape. Although the archaeobotanical evidence is limited, it indicates the cultivation of a variety of crops, including barley, emmer, einkorn, lentil, and flax, alongside the development of livestock farming, which shifted from a focus on sheep and goat husbandry to cattle farming. This paper …

  • To pretreat, or not to pretreat, that is the question. The value of pretreatment protocols in the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of archaeobotanical cereal grains from Croatia and Serbia

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Michael Wallace•ARTICLE•STAR Science & Technology of…•2024

    Isotopic analysis of archaeological charred plant remains is a useful tool to infer past agricultural practices. However, debate continues over whether charred seeds should be untreated or pretreated before analysis, to counteract any residual contamination and retrieve the “true” isotopic signature of the seed. This paper presents a case study examining whether archaeobotanical remains from Croatia and northern Serbia should be pretreated before…

  • Untangling the Taphonomy of Charred Plant Remains in Ritual Contexts

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Victor Ghica et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Field Archaeology•2022•References: 37

    Food has played a central role in death rituals throughout human history, yet finding evidence of these practices in the archaeological record can be problematic. In particular, linking charred plant remains to inhumation burials requires careful consideration of the taphonomic processes involved. Here we focus on the recovery of charred plant macro-remains from four Late Antique and medieval cemeteries and one late medieval church in Croatia. Th…

  • House of Plenty

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Andreja Kudelić et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Archaeology•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 27

    Bronze Age agriculture in Europe is marked by the adoption of new crops, such as broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum), broad bean (Vicia faba) and gold-of-pleasure (Camelina sativa). Yet, at a regional level, it is sometimes unclear when, where and why these crops are adopted and whether they were all adopted at the same time. Croatia is one such region where archaeobotanical research is limited, making it difficult to discuss Bronze Age agricult…

    Research on food has a long history in archaeology and anthropology, with many agreeing that we need to examine the food of complex societies in a more holistic way, through the various stages from production to disposal. Typically, this has occurred through the application of the concept of foodways, although this has a range of definitions and is generally only used in historical archaeological and anthropological research. By building on this …

  • New AMS 14C dates track the arrival and spread of broomcorn millet cultivation and agricultural change in prehistoric Europe

    Open Access•Dragana Filipović, John Meadows et al.•ARTICLE•Scientific Reports•2020

    Broomcorn millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) is not one of the founder crops domesticated in Southwest Asia in the early Holocene, but was domesticated in northeast China by 6000 bc . In Europe, millet was reported in Early Neolithic contexts formed by 6000 bc , but recent radiocarbon dating of a dozen 'early' grains cast doubt on these claims. Archaeobotanical evidence reveals that millet was common in Europe from the 2nd millennium bc , when major …

  • The Roman Food System in Southern Pannonia (Croatia) From the 1st–4th Century A.D

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Ivana Ožanić Roguljić•ARTICLE•Open Archaeology•2020

    Food is an excellent medium through which to explore trade, economies, migration and landscapes, yet little is known about food production and consumption in the Roman province of Pannonia. Here we explore the current evidence for agriculture, trade and diet in southern Pannonia (modern day eastern Croatia) and what this may say about life in the region. The influx of new ‘exotic’ foods and technologies had a profound influence on this region. Th…

    Food has played a central role in death rituals throughout human history, yet finding evidence of these practices in the archaeological record can be problematic. In particular, linking charred plant remains to inhumation burials requires careful consideration of the taphonomic processes involved. Here we focus on the recovery of charred plant macro-remains from four Late Antique and medieval cemeteries and one late medieval church in Croatia. Th…

  • To pretreat, or not to pretreat, that is the question. The value of pretreatment protocols in the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of archaeobotanical cereal grains from Croatia and Serbia

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Michael Wallace•ARTICLE•STAR Science & Technology of…•2024

    Isotopic analysis of archaeological charred plant remains is a useful tool to infer past agricultural practices. However, debate continues over whether charred seeds should be untreated or pretreated before analysis, to counteract any residual contamination and retrieve the “true” isotopic signature of the seed. This paper presents a case study examining whether archaeobotanical remains from Croatia and northern Serbia should be pretreated before…

  • Nascent agricultural extensification and distinct household cultivation strategies supported first population centers in Neolithic southeastern Europe

    Open Access•Paul R Duffy, Kelly Reed et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Environmental…•2026

    Late Neolithic settlements in southeastern Europe expanded to unprecedented sizes, potentially reshaping agricultural practices and household production strategies in response to increasing demographic and environmental constraints. On the Great Hungarian Plain, such population aggregation occurred within landscapes characterized by extensive wetlands and limited arable land, raising questions about how cultivation regimes were organized and whet…

  • Rural community engagement and cultural considerations in the design and deployment of remote health monitoring systems

    Open Access•Kelly Reed, Victoria M Petermann et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Rural Health•2026

    PURPOSE: Remote health monitoring systems (RHMS) use technology (e.g., wearables, smartphones) to track health-related information outside of traditional health care settings and hold great promise to enhance access to care for rural residents. To be most effective, RHMS must meet the unique needs and preferences of rural residents. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to explore if, and how, RHMS in the United States (US) are designed an…

  • An early intervention public health approach to violence prevention

    Open Access•Sarah Bekaert, Georgia Cook et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2026

    PURPOSE: The Thames Valley Violence Reduction Unit's Hospital Navigator Scheme (HNS) supports young people presenting to emergency departments (EDs) at moments of vulnerability. Delivered by volunteer Navigator mentors in partnership with community organisations, the HNS aims to disrupt cycles of vulnerability and violence through relational, needs-led support from the ED into the community. METHODS: A realist evaluation examined how, for whom, a…
