In the study of prehistoric cultures this is both a strong source of information about sustenance strategies and community behaviours, and a subject potentially easy to analyse within a limited set of physical and social parameters. The recent advancements in the use of spatial analysis tools in landscape archaeology allow to obtain ever more precise models. However, studies that compare at the same time the geological landscape and social elements are very scarce. We used Point Pattern Analysis and Modelling to investigate megalithic structures (nuraghes) in Bronze Age southwestern Sardinia (Italy) and identify correlations between their spatial patterns and a set of covariates encompassing both environmental (i.e. topography and geological resources) and cultural factors. The models which best represent pattern distribution come from the combination of covariates from both groups.</div><div>The models highlight a close distance from known ore deposits and show a clear dependence of Nuragic populations to ore extraction and metallurgy. The availability of fertile soils with moderate permeability and moderately low pH is also significant, as well as a preference to prominent locations with a positive correlation with the Topographic Position Index and the Convexity Index. From a cultural standpoint, we observed a consistent aggregation of simple nuraghes around complex nuraghes at mid-short distances. The occurrence of polycentric patterns can be explained either by the former emerging from the presence of the latter or vice versa, and is typically associated with a loosely stratified social structure devoid of strong hierarchies. These results underscore the efficacy of spatial analysis in disentangling and juxtaposing the physical and social factors influencing the distribution of past culture, and offer new insight on the development of Bronze Age societies in their geographical context.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101053,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Environments and Humans","volume":"2 5","pages":"Article 100025"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142318816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these studies have largely been conducted at the level of individual sites, and despite extensive analysis of excavated faunal materials, synthesis of faunal data across different developmental phases of this civilisation and its regions, has rarely taken place. As a result, there exists little understanding of broader animal utilisation patterns within the Indus Valley Civilisation and their relation to climate and landscape. This article produces a comparative analysis of domestic animal utilisation by combining and reanalysing faunal data from different regions of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Our analysis reveals extreme disparity in the spatial and temporal distribution of domesticated animals within this Civilisation. Of the different regions, the amount of data required for interpretation is only available from Haryana and Gujarat, and this largely pertains to the Mature Harappan period, with the Early and Late Harappan phases being grossly underrepresented. Although cattle, buffalo, goats, sheep, and pigs were the primary domesticates across regions, their distribution and economic importance varied and changed over time. This variation may indicate differentiated regional and temporal cultures and adaptations to climatic change.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101053,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Environments and Humans","volume":"2 5","pages":"Article 100022"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950236524000203/pdfft?md5=4059909bf1c73f0d40c5c1d8d1902cc0&pid=1-s2.0-S2950236524000203-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142130024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While data from other river valleys is emerging, finding both lithics and fauna in close proximity remains rare and spatio-temporal inconsistencies make assessment of implications for the larger area challenging. Ongoing investigations along the Bearma, the largest tributary of the River Sonar, has yielded a low-density fossil assemblage across three localities and a proximally located Large Flake Acheulean (LFA) site. The small fossil assemblage currently consists of both cranial and post-cranial elements in differing states of completeness and preservation, likely a function of post-depositional impacts and the time elapsed since exposure. Many of the important large mammalian herbivore species belonging to bovid, equid, cervid and proboscidean taxa that are commonly found during the Late Quaternary of the Indian Subcontinent are represented, making the region worthy of comparison with neighbouring fossiliferous areas. The new Palaeolithic site encountered less than 500 m downstream from the fossil localities is almost exclusively LFA technology in nature made primarily on slabs of Vindhyan sandstone. Preliminary analysis of the collected artefacts indicates a focus on the production of large flake blanks and debitage products from large cores configured according to various unifacial and bifacial technological methods. The frequency of these elements suggests the use of the area as a factory site, while the unmistakable presence of bifaces and other tools warrant broader interpretations. With the current lack of stratigraphic and chronometric data on either assemblage, it is premature to draw any chrono-contextual associations between the fossils and artefacts. However, this ∼5 km stretch of the Bearma yielding two significant proxies presents an excellent opportunity to understand hominin behaviour during the Quaternary and fill both geographical and temporal gaps in Central India.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101053,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Environments and Humans","volume":"2 5","pages":"Article 100021"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950236524000197/pdfft?md5=bbf8d8439d8d563ae44b3d201fa8bd9f&pid=1-s2.0-S2950236524000197-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141993125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The site of Laang Spean, in Cambodia, has recently been described as a burial cave for the Neolithic period, but it was previously known as an emblematic Hoabinhian site for Cambodia. More comprehensive studies indicate that it offers a wide window onto the settlement of the Hoabinhian between 12900 and 5000 cal BP. The archaeological layer of the Hoabinhian culture at Laang Spean include faunal, human and lithic remains that enrich our understanding of the environment and way of life of this ancient culture. The faunal assemblage, dominated by bovines, tortoises, molluscs, and cervids, reflects a diverse ecosystem and the adaptability of the Hoabinhian people. The presence of both humid and dry forest indicators, alongside significant wetland areas, suggests their ability to exploit a variety of habitats. The lithic assemblage, characterized by a lower representation of unifaces and greater use of split cobbles, reflects a continuity in basic lithic reduction strategies with minor diachronic changes in raw material selection and tool production, possibly reflecting technological adaptations and increased intensity of occupation. The discovery of human remains, though challenging to contextualize precisely, contributes to understanding settlement patterns and cultural links in prehistoric Southeast Asia. The new data allow for a deeper interpretation of the environmental adaptations and hunting strategies of the Hoabinhian people, including their responses to climatic changes, such as the end of the Younger Dryas. This enhanced knowledge significantly contributes to our comprehension of the environmental dynamics and subsistence practices in prehistoric Southeast Asia and underscores the necessity of reassessing key Hoabinhian sites with modern excavation and dating techniques.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101053,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Environments and Humans","volume":"2 5","pages":"Article 100020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950236524000185/pdfft?md5=c047da8a137df3dcfae4f20f58380608&pid=1-s2.0-S2950236524000185-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141997253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methods by which these hominins obtained meat—through scavenging the carcasses of large herbivores or hunting themselves—remain a topic of debate. They seem to have thrived in expanding grasslands, which offered few resources except for herds of large, gregarious mammals. In our study, we developed an agent-based model that simulates the behavior of a group of hunter-gatherers foraging in a reconstructed tropical grassland environment. The environmental parameters, including plant availability and prey population densities, are derived from the Serengeti National Park. In this model, agents gather or hunt various species either alone or as a group, using strategies early hominins may already have access to. The basic behavior and the implemented hunting strategies are based on data from recent hunter-gatherer societies living in tropical grasslands. Our model demonstrates how foragers may have thrived in tropical grasslands by either adopting fast hunting strategies, which often require access to sophisticated hunting tools, or by cooperating extensively, which would rely on an enhanced social structure to promote cooperative behavior. Our model can be used to study other scenarios by offering the option to change the environmental conditions and aspects of the agent behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101053,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Environments and Humans","volume":"2 5","pages":"Article 100019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950236524000173/pdfft?md5=ba33baf8e5b36880818d64be30795e99&pid=1-s2.0-S2950236524000173-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conclude that the high amount of labour required to maintain hay yields while counterbalancing the lack of soil nutrients and the shortening of the growing season could be among the many driving forces in the process of Norse farming reorganization in South Greenland.
