  • Home and Away

    Open AccessSabina Shaikh, Sabina L Shaikh et al.ARTICLEMigration and Development2023

    Cambodian cities continue to experience major growth, due principally to in-country migration. However, the recent trajectory and historical context of urbanisation differs from other Asian countries and as such are less investigated. Using a framework of interconnected migration factors, this article reports on rural-to-urban migration in five provinces around Phnom Penh—from the perspective of both urban migrants and their rural family members.…

  • Deglaciation and Holocene climate change in the western Peruvian Andes

    Open AccessChengyu Weng, Mark B Bush et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2006

    Pollen, charcoal, magnetic susceptibility, and bulk density data provide the first paleoecological record spanning the last 33,000 years from the western cordillera of the Peruvian Andes. Sparse super-puna vegetation existed before 30,000 cal yr B.P. around Lake Compuerta (3950 m elevation), prior to a sedimentary hiatus that lasted until c. 16,200 cal yr B.P. When sedimentation resumed, a glacial foreland or super-puna flora is represented in wh…

  • Environmental thresholds and the empirical reality of state collapse

    Open AccessAlan L Kolata, Michael W Binford et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2000Cited by: 22

    We are grateful for the opportunity to respondto Erickson's (1999) critique of our articles onhuman-environment interactions in the LakeTiticaca basin of Bolivia (Ortloff & Kolata 1993;Abbott et al. 1997; Binford et al. 1997). Hisdecision to publish this critique in ANTIQUITY,rather than in the journals in which our articlesappeared, permits us to reach a broaderaudience. Erickson labels our interpretationsa form of 'neo-environmental determinism…

  • A 10,300 14 C yr Record of Climate and Vegetation Change from Haiti

    Open AccessAntonia Higuera-Gundy, Mark Brenner et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1999

    Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation dynamics in the American tropics are inferred largely from pollen in continental lake sediments. Maritime influences may have moderated climate and vegetation changes on Caribbean islands. Stable isotope (δ 18 O) study of a 7.6-m core from Lake Miragoane, Haiti, provided a high-resolution record of changing evaporation/precipitation (E/P) since ∼10,300 14 C yr B.P. The Miragoane pollen record documents climate …

  • Climate Variation and the Rise and Fall of an Andean Civilization

    Open AccessMichael W Binford, Alan L Kolata et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1997

    Paleolimnological and archaeological records that span 3500 years from Lake Titicaca and the surrounding Bolivian–Peruvian altiplano demonstrate that the emergence of agriculture (ca. 1500 B.C.) and the collapse of the Tiwanaku civilization (ca. A.D. 1100) coincided with periods of abrupt, profound climate change. The timing and magnitude of climate changes are inferred from stratigraphic evidence of lake-level variation recorded in 14 C-dated la…

  • A 3500 14 C yr High-Resolution Record of Water-Level Changes in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia/Peru

    Open AccessMark B Abbott, Michael W Binford et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1997

    Sediment cores collected from the southern basin of Lake Titicaca (Bolivia/Peru) on a transect from 4.6 m above overflow level to 15.1 m below overflow level are used to identify a new century-scale chronology of Holocene lake-level variations. The results indicate that lithologic and geochemical analyses on a transect of cores can be used to identify and date century-scale lake-level changes. Detailed sedimentary analyses of subfacies and radioc…
