The last decade saw a rapid increase in the number of studies where time–frequency
changes of radiocarbon dates have been used as a proxy for inferring past population …

Future changes in sea-level are projected to have significant environmental and social
impacts, but we have limited understanding of comparable rates of change in the past. Using …

Recent advances in the use of summed probability distribution (SPD) of calibrated 14C
dates have opened new possibilities for studying prehistoric demography. The degree of …

The present-day distribution of Bantu languages is commonly thought to reflect the early
stages of the Bantu Expansion, the greatest migration event in African prehistory. Using …

Summed probability distributions of radiocarbon dates are an increasingly popular means
by which to reconstruct prehistoric population dynamics, enabling more thorough cross …

Ecosystems on the verge of major reorganization—regime shift—may exhibit declining
resilience, which can be detected using a collection of generic statistical tests known as …

The Italian peninsula offers an excellent case study within which to investigate long-term
regional demographic trends and their response to climate fluctuations, especially given its …

In this paper, we test the hypothesis of the Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Central
Balkan Early Neolithic (6250–5300 BC) by applying the method of summed calibrated …

We introduce a new workflow for analysing archaeological frequency data associated with
relative rather than absolute chronological time-stamps. Our approach takes into account …

The settlement of Patagonia has been the subject of extensive research, although key
questions about the timing of arrival of the first humans and the subsequent patterns of …
