Increasingly, archaeologists are producing larger databases and asking questions about processes that play out at larger scales. To better understand the working of long-term and regional-scale relationships, archaeologists are seeking to compare proxy variables measuring phenomena such as population, climate, and the environment. In this presentation, statistical time series in the time and frequency domains is used on sample datasets to illustrate the benefits of this approach in archaeology...
Radiocarbon dating uncertainty constrains our ability to identify cyclical human-environment dynamics (2017)
Archaeologists have long been interested in cyclical human-environment dynamics. This interest is indicated by the dozens of published studies that refer to "adaptive cycles" and by the fact that one of the highest cited papers in the history of archaeology focuses on the impact of cyclical drought on the Classic Maya. Unfortunately, recent work suggests that identifying cycles in archaeological and palaeoclimatological time series data can be challenging when the observations are dated with...
