Climate and Cultural Change in Prehistoric Europe and the Near East
At a time when the basic tenets of climate science are called into question, the need for demonstrable evidence of systemic links between climate and the human condition has never been more acute. Archaeologists find themselves in the unique position of being able to document these connections in a variety of past contexts, given the now long-standing interdisciplinary emphasis on environmental reconstruction. Archaeologists are armed with data s…
Multiproxy evidence for rapid and enduring anthropogenic vegetation change during the Late Holocene from an abandoned channel of the Mississippi River, Wapanocca Bayou, Arkansas, USA
Geoarchaeological cores from an infilling channel within the meander belt of the Central Mississippi Valley recovered multiproxy evidence of vegetation changes during the Late Holocene. The sampling site, Wapanocca Bayou (Crittenden County, Arkansas), is flanked by levees that supported settlements of prehistoric Late Woodland and Mississippian farm sites, villages, and towns (AD 300–1650). These settlements include the Bradley site (3CT7), which…

Geoarchaeology, Forensics, and the Prosecution of Saddam Hussein: A Case Study from the Iraq War (2003–2011)
During the Iraq War (2003–2011), the U.S. government dispatched teams of forensic archaeologists and anthropologists to examine a series of mass graves, a site of genocide allegedly perpetrated by Saddam Hussein in the late 20th century. Remote sensing and limited field‐testing disclosed a crime scene featuring extensive landscape disturbances from haphazard placements of shallow, presumed grave trenches and associated spoil heaps. Geoarchaeologi…

Water supply and history: Harappa and the Beas regional survey
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…

Harappan Geoarchaeology Reconsidered: Holocene Landscapes and Environments of the Greater Indus Plain
A Reassessment of the holocene stratigraphy of the Wadi Hasa Terrace and Hasa formation, Jordan
Vita‐Finzi's 1960s model for Mediterranean terrace evolution was once the basis for regional valley histories across much of the Levant. A revisit to the Hasa terrace, formerly considered Early to Middle Holocene in age, resulted in a revised chronostratigraphy. Sedimentological and geochemical analyses bolstered by radiocarbon dating indicate that valley floor construction began shortly after the end of the Middle Holocene, at least 2000 years l…

Prehistoric Landscapes and Settlement Geography along the Wadi Hasa, West-Central Jordan. Part II: Towards a Model of Palaeoecological Settlement for the Wadi Hasa
An earlier essay (Schuldenrein and Clark 2001) presented the palaeoenvironmental background to changing prehistoric site distributions in the Wadi Hasa, the principal drainage of west Central Jordan. Evidence for over 100,000 years of human settlement is preserved in discrete locations and within specific sediment packages associated with the ancient landscapes of the drainage. This essay explores the systematics of settlement geography by filter…

Prehistoric Landscapes and Settlement Geography along the Wadi Hasa, West-Central Jordan. Part I: Geoarchaeology, Human Palaeoecology and Ethnographic Modelling
This essay is part of a continuing research program that investigates settlement patterns, palaeoenvironmental change, and archaeological variability in the earlier sites recorded by the Wadi Hasa Survey (WHS) in west-central Jordan (MacDonald 1988). In previous papers, we described both general and regional models for hunter-gatherer positioning strategies (Clark 1992), synthesised Levantine palaeoenvironmental information pertinent to the 100–1…
Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and site formation at Konispol Cave, Southwest Albania
Recent geoarchaeological investigations at Konispol Cave (Epirus), Albania concluded nearly a decade of interdisciplinary human ecological investigations. Questions of site formation, cave history, and environmental change were examined through microstratigraphic study and sedimentological analysis. Artifacts and occupation layers from Upper Paleolithic through Iron Age times were preserved in three discrete sediment complexes. Sedimentology supp…

Konispol Cave, southern Albania, and correlations with other Aegean caves occupied in the Late Quaternary
Archeological excavations in a karstic cavern on the south facing slopes of the Pindus range, southern Albania, have disclosed a continuous, 4.5 m thick sequence of human occupation since the Mesolithic. In 1994 geoarcheological field work identified nine (9) principal lithostrata that correspond with successive occupations. Sedimentary sequences indicate that during the Mesolithic spring flow was active and produced a pool in the cave's central …
Late Quaternary Paleoenvironments and Prehistoric Site Distributions in the Lower Jordan Valley: A Preliminary Report
A geo-archeological survey in the Lower Jordan Valley, Israel, revealed the existence of more than forty prehistoric locations in open air context. They provide a continuous record of Upper Paleolithic through Neolithic activity in this part of the Levant over the interval 20,000-6000 BP. The present report outlines the paleo-geographic settings of the prehistoric occupations. This is attempted through geomorphological and stratigraphie investiga…
High-Resolution Paleoclimatic Trends for the Holocene Identified Using Magnetic Susceptibility Data from Archaeological Excavations in Caves
Landscape and prehistoric chronology of West‐Central Jordan
Remnant lake and stream terraces of the Wadi el Hasa (west‐central Jordan) are associated with in situ prehistoric sites spanning > 100,000 years. Eighteen radiocarbon dates from cultural and geological deposits on the terraces facilitate the first comprehensive prehistoric landscape chronology for the southern Levant east of the Jordan Rift. In the eastern Hasa basin, the uppermost of three cut and fill surfaces (>20 m) is linked to massive foss…

Coring and the Identity of Cultural-Resource Environments: A Comment on Stein
Stein (1986) presents a very timely contribution on the history and utility of archaeological site coring that has major implications for the detection and retrieval of subsurface archaeological data. My purpose in this comment is threefold. First, I would extend her history of coring to include three periods instead of two. More importantly, in so doing, I would stress the need to modify Stein's observations to cultural-resource-management (CRM)…

Paleoenvironment, prehistory, and accelerated slope erosion along the central Israeli coastal plain (Palmahim): A geoarchaeological case study
The late Quaternary history and systematics of slope erosion along a segment of the Central Israeli Coastal Plain is examined in conjunction with a series of terminal Paleolithic occupations. Three sites situated along the slope afford site‐specific and intersite data that enable reconstructions of local geological and archaeological sequences and correlations. The earliest (Kebaran) component is located on the midslope while the later (Geometric…

Early Archaic Settlement on the Southeastern Atlantic Slope: A View from the Rucker's Bottom Site, Elbert County, Georgia
In 1981 and 1982 a 160 m 2 block was opened into the Early Archaic deposits at the Rucker's Bottom site in northeast Georgia along the upper Savannah River. An assemblage dominated by Palmer points, expedient flake tools, and debitage was recovered, and is compared to Early Archaic assemblages from elsewhere on the southeastern Atlantic slope. While there is considerable variability in the quantity of material recovered from individual sites over…
