Natural environment and resources, and the long life of the Neolithic settlement at Vina, southeast Europe
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
The Neolithic settlement in Vina near Belgrade, Serbia, was occupied for more than a millennium (c. 5600-4500calBC); from about 5200calBC the occupation, associated with the regional Vina culture phenomenon, was uninterrupted. ...
The goodness of fit and statistical significance of seriation solutions
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2013)
This paper presents a method for determining the statistical significance and goodness of fit of seriation solutions based on correspondence analysis. The basic assumption is that seriation solutions corresponding to ...
Demography of the Early Neolithic Population in Central Balkans: Population Dynamics Reconstruction Using Summed Radiocarbon Probability Distributions
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2016)
The Central Balkans region is of great importance for understanding the spread of the Neolithic in Europe but the Early Neolithic population dynamics of the region is unknown. In this study we apply the method of summed ...
Beyond culture history: Coast Salish settlement patterning and demography in the Fraser Valley, BC
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2016)
The florescence of large, regional radiocarbon data sets allows archaeologists to examine fine-scale, local changes in demography and settlement that are not tied to regional culture historical frameworks. We compile 599 ...
Ancient pigs reveal a near-complete genomic turnover following their introduction to Europe
(Natl Acad Sciences, Washington, 2019)
Archaeological evidence indicates that pig domestication had begun by similar to 10,500 y before the present ( BP) in the Near East, and mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA) suggests that pigs arrived in Europe alongside farmers ...
Assessing continuity in the ancestral territory of the Tsleil-Waututh-Coast Salish, southwest British Columbia, Canada
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2018)
Archaeological interpretations of continuity and abandonment can have significant implications for descendent communities. Such interpretations are contingent on the social and spatial scale of analysis. We assess the ...
Earliest expansion of animal husbandry beyond the Mediterranean zone in the sixth millennium BC
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2017)
Since their domestication in the Mediterranean zone of Southwest Asia in the eighth millennium BC, sheep, goats, pigs and cattle have been remarkably successful in colonizing a broad variety of environments. The initial ...
New Radiometric Ages for the BH-1 Hominin from Balanica (Serbia): Implications for Understanding the Role of the Balkans in Middle Pleistocene Human Evolution
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2013)
Newly obtained ages, based on electron spin resonance combined with uranium series isotopic analysis, and infrared/post-infrared luminescence dating, provide a minimum age that lies between 397 and 525 ka for the hominin ...
The end of the affair: formal chronological modelling for the top of the Neolithic tell of Vinca-Belo Brdo
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2015)
Bayesian statistical frameworks have been used to calculate explicit, quantified estimates for site chronologies, and have been especially useful for resolving the complex probability distributions of calibrated radiocarbon ...
