Posttraumatic Growth Among Survivors of Natural Disaster in Indonesia: A Qualitative Study
After a natural disaster, survivors may undergo psychological and emotional challenges. Some experts argue that such traumatic incidents can also foster posttraumatic growth (PTG). This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore the progression of PTG and the factors influencing it among natural disaster survivors. Seventy individuals originating from disaster-affected regions in Indonesia between 2006 and 2022 participated in 7 focus groups …
Social Complexity and Political Capitals in Ancient Eurasia
This article draws upon archaeological evidence of settlement and enclosure sites as key indicators of social complexity in agro-pastoral societies of Central Asia and Inner Eurasia during the Late Iron Age–Late Antique periods. Large fortified enclosures (kalas) were the political capitals of mobile states and empires, embodying and displaying the power, status, and prestige of ruling elites. Low-density “urban” sites were located in dispersed s…
Gateway to the Yayla: The Varneti Archaeological Complex in the Southern Caucasus Highlands
Recent ground surveys in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of southern Georgia have investigated a previously undocumented group of sites along a ridge overlooking the upper Kura river valley. Features and artefacts recorded at Varneti suggest long but episodic occupation from the Chalcolithic to the later medieval periods, with prominent phases in the Early to Middle Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age. Varneti has the potential to …

Millet cultivation in Central Asia: A response to Miller et al
In a recent special issue of The Holocene , Miller et al. review the evidence for the spread of millet ( Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica ) across Eurasia. Among their arguments, they contend that millet cultivation came to Eurasian regions with hot, dry summers when irrigation was introduced, as part of a region-wide shift toward agricultural intensification in the first millennium BC. This hypothesis seems to align with the pattern of agri…
Kara-tepe, Karakalpakstan: Agropastoralism in a Central Eurasian Oasis in the 4th/5th century A.D. Transition
This paper reports on the results of archaeological field excavations at the site of Kara-tepe, in the semi-autonomous region of Karakalpakstan in northwestern Uzbekistan. Investigations at the site in 2008–2009 turned up an unusually rich assemblage of remains from a household context. Combined analysis of the household botanical and faunal remains has allowed us to reconstruct the agropastoral practices of local inhabitants in this oasis region…
Khorezmian Walled Sites of the Seventh Century Bc—Fourth Century Ad: Urban Settlements? Elite Strongholds? Mobile Centres
Previous interpretations have reconstructed late Iron Age Khorezm as a sedentary, urban, agrarian state, and its largest fortified sites as urban centres following the hydraulic state model. This paper surveys the assumptions underlying this interpretation, and examines the archaeological evidence for urban settlements in relation to the fortified enclosures or kalas. A closer examination of these fortified sites reveals that they may have played…
