Population predictions for the world’s largest cities in the 21st century
We project populations to 2100 for the world’s larger cities. Three socioeconomic scenarios with various levels of sustainability and global cooperation are evaluated, and individual “best fit” projections made for each city using global urbanization forecasts. In 2010, 757 million people resided in the 101 largest cities – 11 per cent of the world’s population. By the end of the century, world population is projected to range from 6.9 billion to…
Chapter 3: Context and Relevance
Given what is now known or may be reasonably inferred about the geomorphological development of the northern shoreline of New Guinea—the second-largest island in the world with a land area of about 808,000 km2—this island has played a previously unexpected role in the prehistory of the Pacific, first as “barrier” and then later as “bridge” (or perhaps, more accurately, as “voyaging corridor”) between island Southeast Asia and Oceania. However, ou…
Domesticated Landscapes: The Subsistence Ecology of Plant and Animal Domestication
Origin and Environmental Setting of Ancient Agriculture in the Lowlands of Mesoamerica
Archaeological research in the Gulf Coast of Tabasco reveals the earliest record of maize cultivation in Mexico. The first farmers settled along beach ridges and lagoons of the Grijalva River delta. Pollen from cultivated Zea appears with evidence of forest clearing about 5100 calendar years B.C. (yr B.C.) [6200 14 C years before the present (yr B.P.)]. Large Zea sp. pollen, typical of domesticated maize ( Zea mays ), appears about 5000 calendar …
Prehistoric sunflower (Helianthus Annuus L.) domestication in Mexico
Early Agriculture in the Maya Lowlands
Wetland research in northern Belize provides the earliest evidence for development of agriculture in the Maya Lowlands. Pollen data confirm the introduction of maize and manioc before 3000 B.C. Dramatic deforestation, beginning ca. 2500 B.C. and intensifying in wetland environments ca. 1500-1300 B.C., marks an expansion of agriculture, which occurred in the context of a mixed foraging economy. By 1000 B.C. a rise in groundwater levels led farmers…

Thomas Shay, John Bennet, Dimitris Tsoungarakis, Eleni Angelomati-Tsoungarakis, Christophoros Vallianos, Harriet Blitzer, A Survey of the Western Mesara Plain in Crete: Preliminary Report of the 1984, 1986, and 1987 Field Seasons, Hesperia: The Journal of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Vol. 62, No. 2 (Apr. - Jun., 1993), pp. 191-248
Ancient Maya Wetland Agriculture: New Insights from Ecological and Remote Sensing Research
Despite claims that ancient Maya canals are found throughout the central Maya Lowlands, our study of satellite and aircraft imagery indicates that canals are concentrated in three regions: northern Belize, southern Quintana Roo, Mexico, and along the upper Candelaria River and its tributaries in Campeche, Mexico. Earlier reports of lattices of small canals in the karstic depressions, or bajos, of Petén, Guatemala, based on the analysis of airborn…
