TL;DR: An empirical global assessment of land use from 10,000 years before the present (yr B.P.) to 1850 CE reveals a planet largely transformed by hunter-gatherers, farmers, and pastoralists by 3000 years ago, considerably earlier than the dates in the land-use reconstructions commonly used by Earth scientists.

TL;DR: This paper presented a detailed overview of Upper Paleolithic chronology, sites, and assemblages for Mediterranean Spain, an area of over 1,600,000 km that extends from the French border to the Straits of Gibraltar.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nouvelle approche for l'etude des ensembles lithiques permettent d'identifier les systemes techno-economiques dans lesquels ils s'inserent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide empirical evidence to support existing anecdotal studies regarding the mechanisms by which human communities become vulnerable to rapid changes in freshwater resources on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use computational modeling as an experimental environment to examine processes that form the archaeological record of lithic assemblages, and provide valuable new, quantitative insights into the information about past human social, ecological, and technological practices embedded in lithic objects.
