Understanding long-term human ecodynamics through the lens of ecosystem collapse
Most research on long-term human ecodynamics examines changes in the size and structure of human populations, often in relation to climate change. Here we offer an alternative perspective that draws on recent progress in conservation science, examining the causes and consequences of ecosystem collapse. We identify human actions that can cause abrupt transformation of ecosystems, in relation to key mechanisms and underlying theory. Such ecosystem …
Case Report
Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy is a self-limited inflammatory condition of the outer retina that usually affects young adults and often does not require treatment. It has been reported to occur after vaccination for influenza, polio, hepatitis B, meningococcus C, and varicella zoster virus. This is the first known case to occur after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a healthy adolescent boy.
Reconstructing Social Networks
The increasingly permanent, large‐scale communities that developed in Southwest Asia in the early Neolithic, and that have been the norm in many societies ever since, mark a significant break with the highly mobile, fission–fusion forms of social organization shared by all earlier human and, indeed, other primate forebears. While economic, ecological, and cultural changes were clearly an important part of the transition, the social changes that a…
Exploring Environmental Influences on Infant Development and Their Potential Role in Processes of Cultural Transmission and Long-Term Technological Change
Emerging understanding of the extent to which the childhood environment can influence long-term neural and cognitive development may justify greater attention to its role in prehistory. In this review, we attempt to identify a range of ways in which changes to the rearing environment might impact on cognitive function with the potential to modify processes of cultural transmission. We focus on the types of change to the infant environment that ma…
Estimating population size, density and dynamics of Pre-Pottery Neolithic villages in the central and southern Levant
An understanding of population dynamics is essential for reconstructing the trajectories of central and southern Levantine Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) villages. The aim of this investigation was to derive more empirically and statistically robust absolute demographic data than currently exists. Several methodologies were explored, including those based on dwelling unit size and the number of dwellings; residential floor area per person; populatio…
Networks in Archaeology
Big Brains, Small Worlds
This chapter examines the material aspect of social interaction and the evolution of the mind, with emphasis on the neural capacities for the relationships that humans have with other animate and apparently ‘inanimate’ entities. It stresses the importance of collaboration between the disciplines of neuroimaging and archaeology in elucidating the process by which hominins developed the uniquely human capacity for engagement with material culture, …
Analyser les réseaux du passé en archéologie et en histoire
Au cours de la dernière décennie, de plus en plus d'archéologues ont utilisé des méthodes formelles d'analyse de réseaux, tant pour explorer des bases données complexes que pour tester leurs hypothèses à propos des interactions du passé. La tendance a été la même en histoire, autour de l'analyse de réseaux sociaux ayant laissé des traces textuelles. Mais les deux disciplines, qui pourtant partagent l'objectif de comprendre des comportements humai…
From Individual Neurons to Social Brains
The manufacture of stone tools is an integral part of the human evolutionary trajectory. However, very little research is directed towards the social and cognitive context of the process of manufacture. This article aims to redress this balance by using insights from contemporary neuroscience. Addressing successively more inclusive levels of analysis, we will argue that the relevant unit of analysis when examining the interface between archaeolog…
The spread of Neolithic plant economies from the Near East to northwest Europe
Investigating Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherer Identities
This volume stems from sessions at the 2004 Theoretical Archaeology Conference at Glasgow University, entitled "Hunter-Gatherers in Early Prehistory" and "Hunting for Meaning: Interpretive Approaches to the Mesolithic". The sessions came about as a response to a continuing lack of appreciation of new developments in theoretical approaches to the archaeology of prehistoric hunter-gatherers both in the Pleistocene and Holocene
A Saxon and Saxo-Norman Execution Cemetery at 42–54 London Road, Staines
An excavation on the southern side of London Road, Staines, in 1999 revealed a dense concentration of ancient features surviving amidst the concrete foundations of a recently demolished office building. These features included a number of Bronze Age pits, many of which were intercut; pits, ditches and a well of late Roman origin; and the remains of approximately thirty inhumation burials, most or all of which were of late Saxon or early Norman or…
