Climate and Human Behavior Studies for our Warming World: An Introduction to the Models, Methods, and Data

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This presentation provides a practical introduction and toolkit for investigating relationships between climate and human behavior. The urgency of addressing the problems of our warming world is beyond the responsibility or exclusive domain of climate scientists or specialists – it is a shared human responsibility. Public or scholarly contributions do not require specialized climate knowledge. Some foundational conceptual models, assumptions, methods, and data of climate and human behavior studies will be presented. The intent is to expand competence in this domain to enrich documentation and interpretations of the past so that insights will emerge to contribute to preparing for and responding to our warming world. While the North American Southwest is the geographical focus, the approach advanced is applicable in drylands worldwide.
