The missing woodland story
Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data. The study site is Cambusurich Wood, Scotland, a woodland designated for conservation due to its ‘naturalness’. High temporal resolution palaeoecological records (pollen,…
Reduction of Silk Road Exchange Corresponds with a Decrease in Hydraulic Output of Major Dryland Rivers in Northwest China
Adaptations in ancient oasis woodlands of the hyper-arid Tarim Basin, Northwestern China
Dynamism, use and reuse at an Irish portal tomb
Excavations of a portal tomb at Tirnony, Co. Derry/Londonderry in 2010 and 2011 revealed a surprisingly dynamic monument with evidence for Neolithic ritual. The excavation uncovered pre-tomb pits, a disturbed stone floor, and primary tomb deposits, containing Neolithic pottery, flint tools, struck quartz and possible hammer-stones. There were indications of the sequence of construction of the elements of the tomb, and of interruptions, of unquant…

A multi-scalar palynological investigation of plant- and land-use at a Mesolithic occupation site in central Ireland
Recent research on the archaeobotanical and pollen records from north-west Europe has suggested that Mesolithic hunter-gatherers actively shaped woodland environments. These early communities created small-scale clearances, exploited a variety of wild plants, and possibly managed specific taxa. Interpretation of such activities is complicated by the influences of herbivory and the challenges posed by spatial and temporal resolution. Despite tanta…
Dual role of human activities and climate in pre-industrial nitrogen shifts in Ireland
Multi-proxy investigations of Bronze Age diet and environment in the hyper-arid eastern Tarim Basin (Lop Nur), northwest China
Humans have a long history of occupying ecologically marginal regions, and the ancient cultural mechanisms of adaptation to these challenging environments remain poorly understood. We examine archaeological deposits from a Bronze Age settlement in the hyper-arid eastern Tarim Basin (Lop Nur), identifying well-preserved plant remains and bone fragments that shed light on the palaeodiet and past environmental setting. We use the newly developed pep…

The Key
Siccitas magna ultra modum
When considering past human-environment relationships in Ireland, we rarely contemplate the potentially detrimental effects of drought on populations. The summer of 2018 drew attention, however, to some of the ways in which reduced precipitation can impact on societies, even in an oceanic setting such as Ireland. Here, we examine ways in which we can identify the past occurrence of droughts through palaeoenvironmental records. We focus on three t…
Cultural change and the climate record in final prehistoric and early medieval Ireland
To what extent did climate change steer the trajectories of early societies? The final prehistoric (Developed to Late Iron Age) and early medieval periods in Ireland witnessed several major transformations in settlement, economy, material culture and ideology. Here, we review the palaeoenvironmental records to contextualise these transformations in terms of both climate oscillations and land-use history to evaluate whether climate change may have…
Timing and climate forcing of volcanic eruptions for the past 2,500 years
Testing the palaeoclimatic significance of the Northern Irish bog oak record
We present an analysis of the Northern Irish bog oak record presented in Turney et al. (2005) for the last 4500 years. The record is compared with a compiled peatland water table record from the same region and palaeohydrological data from northern England and mid-latitude Europe. It is apparent that there is no consistent relationship between the population frequency of Irish bog oaks and the palaeohydrological reconstructions, illustrating that…
Making hay while the sun shines? Socio-economic change, cereal production and climatic deterioration in Early Medieval Ireland
Land-use patterns and cultural change in the Middle to Late Bronze Age in Ireland
A multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental investigation of the findspot of an Iron Age bog body from Oldcroghan, Co. Offaly, Ireland
A delayed climatic response to solar forcing at 2800 cal. BP
Multiproxy palaeohydrological records from three raised bogs in Northern Ireland indicate that a major shift to wetter/cooler climatic conditions postdated the rapid decrease in solar activity at 2800 cal. BP by ~100 years. This event is bracketed by two wiggle-match radiocarbon-dated cryptotephra layers in each profile, enabling a high degree of chronological precision. These replicated data corroborate previous findings based on Irish peat humi…

Peatland Archaeology in Northern Ireland
A desk assessment has been carried out to identify archaeological sites and findspots in peatland locations in Northern Ireland, in order to estimate the potential for further archaeological fieldwork. Sites in or under blanket, raised, fen and marsh peat have been considered. The majority of sites have been identified from information contained in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record (NISMR). In addition, all NISMR site locations have…

Human Exploitation and Biota of Islands
The Food Economies of Atlantic Island Monasteries
Much of our knowledge of Early Medieval monastic economies is based on contemporary documentary sources. Until recently, this literary record has had little in the way of useful archaeo-environmental data to support it. This paper examines the unusually rich environmental remains recovered from the excavations at two early island monasteries – Iona, in the Inner Hebrides, and Illaunloughan, Co. Kerry. The assemblages present a key opportunity to …
New dates for first millennium BC tephra isochrones in Ireland
Three distinct, first millennium BC tephras (BMR-190, OMH-185, GB4-150) have been recognized in Irish peat deposits, including a previously undated ash (BMR-190). We present the results of a programme of high-precision 14 C wiggle-matching on a peat profile containing all three tephras from Glen West, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The wiggle-match provides highly refined dates of 705-585cal. BC for BMR-190, 755-680cal. BC for OMH-185 and 80…
