TL;DR: Conolly and Lake as discussed by the authors present a comprehensive manual on the use of GIS in archaeology and illustrate how it can be adapted for practical use, including issues such as spatial databases, data acquisition, spatial analysis, and techniques of visualization.

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: In this paper, an analysis of archaeobotanical data from 40 aceramic Neolithic sites in southwestern Asia and southeastern Europe shows that there are vegetational signatures that characterize the different geographical regions occupied by the Early Neolithic farmers.

TL;DR: Quantitative analysis of the published records of over 400,000 animal bones recovered from 114 archaeological sites from SW Asia and SE Europe demonstrates significant spatiotemporal variability in faunal exploitation patterns, setting the trend for sites of the 9th millennium and the appearance of Neolithic communities in SE Europe from the 8th millennium cal BP onwards.
