Archaeology, ethnography, and geosciences reveal central role of traditional lifeways in shaping Madagascar's dry forests
Many communities in southwestern Madagascar rely on a mix of foraging, fishing, farming, and herding, with cattle central to local cultures, rituals, and intergenerational wealth transfer. Today these livelihoods are critically threatened by the intensifying effects of climate change and biodiversity loss. Improved understanding of ancient community-environment dynamics can help identify pathways to livelihood sustainability. Multidisciplinary ap…
Geophysics elucidate long-term socio-ecological dynamics of foraging, pastoralism, and mixed subsistence strategies on SW Madagascar
The environmental impacts of human societies are generally assumed to correlate with factors such as population size, whether they are industrialized, and the intensity of their landscape modifications (e.g., agriculture, urban development). As a result, small-scale communities with subsistence economies are often not the focus of long-term studies of environmental impact. However, comparing human-environment dynamics and their lasting ecological…
Precipitation variability, vegetation turnover, and anthropogenic disturbance over the last millennium in the Atacama highlands of northern Chile (19°S)
The Late-Holocene history of hydroclimatic variability in the Atacama Desert offers insights into the effects of precipitation and humans on ecosystems in one of the most extremely arid regions of the world. However, understanding the effects of regional precipitation variability in relation to local ecological stressors remains to be fully resolved. Here, we present a pollen-based qualitative precipitation reconstruction derived from fossil rode…
Cultural Landscapes of Resilience and Vulnerability
Research at the Selin Farm site in northeastern Honduras examined changing cultural landscapes in a region whose prehistory is poorly understood. Low-impact field methods and radiocarbon dates reveal how this cultural landscape changed in response to shifting priorities among its inhabitants from a.d. 300–1000. We found evidence for rapid accumulation of deposits beginning around a.d. 600, when the site nearly doubled in size over the span of jus…
The Rise and Fall of Wiñaymarka
Two Thousand Years of Land-Use and Vegetation Evolution in the Andean Highlands of Northern Chile Inferred from Pollen and Charcoal Analyses
The European conquest of the New World produced major socio-environmental reorganization in the Americas, but for many specific regions and ecosystems, we still do not understand how these changes occurred within a broader temporal framework. In this paper, we reconstruct the long-term environmental and vegetation changes experienced by high-altitude wetlands of the southcentral Andes over the last two millennia. Pollen and charcoal analyses of a…
High-altitude adaptation and late Pleistocene foraging in the Bolivian Andes
Fishing and environmental change during the emergence of social complexity in the Lake Titicaca Basin
Local Management of Andean Wetlands in Sajama National Park, Bolivia
Andean wetlands or bofedales are commonly used by indigenous communities for livestock production. Decisions regarding management of bofedales involve the active participation of local people and their social institutions. Consequently, any action addressing emerging challenges must be implemented in coordination and agreement with local actors. This decision process requires an understanding of the local socioeconomic and cultural dynamics, espe…
Fish remains from the Formative Period (1000 BC–AD 400) of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
