Did climatic seasonality control late Quaternary artiodactyl densities in western North America?
Water supply and history
Introducing the methods of archaeoclimatology, the authors measure the relative locus of the monsoons, the intensity of winter rains and the volume of water in the rivers in the Upper Indus, in the region of Harappa. They also note the adoption of a multi-cropping agricultural system as a possible strategy designed to adjust to changing conditions over time. They find that around 3500 BC the volume of water in the rivers increases, and the rivers…

Paleoclimatic and Material Cultural Perspective on the Formative Period of Northern Chile
The recent development of a macrophysical paleoclimatic modeling methodology allows the reconstruction of site-specific models of Holocene precipitation and temperatures with a temporal resolution of 200 years intervals back to 14,000 B.P. Where suitable modern analogue data are available, rain intensity and evapotranspiration may also be modeled. Models of this type suggest that the hyperarid conditions found today in the Arica region of Chile h…

On Climatic Analogs in Paleoclimatic Reconstruction
Many of the problems that have been discussed with regard to the analog approach to paleoclimatic reconstruction may be illustrated by consideration of basic principles and definitions, and the logical consquences thereof. Specific attention is directed toward the definition of the regional macroclimate as the modal microclimate and to a series of axioms: (1) There are various microclimates which depart more or less from the macroclimate in each …

Procedures and equipment have been described in previous date lists. Except as otherwise indicated, wood, charcoal and peat samples are pretreated with dilute NaOH–Na 4 P 2 O 7 and dilute H 3 PO 4 before conversion to the counting gas methane; marls and lake cores are treated with acid only. Very calcareous materials are treated with HCl instead of H 3 PO 4 . Pretreatment of bone varies with the condition of the bone sample, solid bone with littl…
Holocene Variations of Monsoon Rainfall in Rajasthan
Two reconstructed histories of the monsoon rainfall in Rajasthan show that the monsoon was weak or absent in latest glacial time. With the advent of Holocene climatic patterns, fresh water lakes formed in dune fields and the pollen rain preserved in these reservoirs provides a basis for the reconstruction of the monsoon history. The two reconstructions, separated by only 150 km, have some features in common and some striking differences. Both sho…

On the Climates of History
There is a body of paleoclimatic techniques capable at present of producing broad background information on the climates of almost any period in the history of man. A body of climatic theory exists that makes the cross-checking and inter-relating of climatic data possible as well as a collection of ecological principles which can be applied to the man-climate relationship. There are indications that research in the near future will provide climat…

A Method for Describing Quantitatively the Correspondence of Geographical Distributions 1
T HE subject to be considered in this paper is the development of a logically sound and easily applied method by means of which one may quantitatively describe and map, for an area, the manner in which the continuous variations within one class of phenomena correspond to the variations within another class.

Paleosols and the Forest Border in Keewatin, N.W.T.
The morphology of paleosols and radiocarbon-dated charcoal from buried surface horizons of soils provide evidence to suggest that between periods of northward forest encroachment tundra climate has dominated areas at least 50 km south of the present forest/tundra border in southwest Keewatin. The present forest/tundra border climate is nearly as severe as any climate that has prevailed in the area since deglaciation.

Late- and Postglacial Climatic Change in the Northern Midwest, USA
Canonical correlation analysis provides a means of reconstructing quantitative time series of past climatic variables during the last 15,000 years from fossil pollen spectra collected at three sites in the northern Midwest. This multivariate statistical technique was applied to a spatial array of modern pollen and climatic data in order to derive a set of mathematical transfer functions. These transform the fossil pollen spectra directly into qua…

On the Analysis of Pollen-Climate Canonical Transfer Functions
Canonical correlation analysis, as described by Webb and Bryson, Quaternary Research 1972, provides a means of reconstructing past climates quantitatively from fossil pollen using a pollen-climate transfer function. This paper presents a method for analysis of variance of the transfer function model. This method is used to identify ecological relationships among the pollen and climate variables, to select climatically sensitive taxa, and to inves…
Dating Climatic Episodes of the Holocene
Monitoring evidence indicates that the Holocene embraced a sequence of rather discrete climatic episodes. The transitions between these environmental episodes apparently were abrupt and globally synchronous. This paper reports on statistical analyses of radiocarbon dates associated with environmental change and cultural change. Over 800 14 C dates associated with pollen maxima and minima, sea level maxima and minima, and top and bottom surfaces o…
