Neolithic transition in Europe: the radiocarbon record revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make use of a new database of radiocarbon dates from Mesolithic and Neolithic sites to map the transition in Europe from the south-east to the north-west.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling Paleoindian dispersals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a demographic simulation model in which rates of spatial range expansion can be modified by local habitat values, and the broad-scale vegetation cover of North America during the late last glacial is reconstructed and mapped at thousand-year intervals, 13,000-10,000 radiocarbon years BP.

The Colonization of Unfamiliar Landscapes: The Archaeology of Adaptation
Marcy Rockman,James Steele +1 more
TL;DR: Anderson et al. as mentioned in this paper present the archaeological and anthropological foundations of the landscape learning process and discuss the role of the frontier in the growth of the modern world. But their focus is on the early stages of the process of familiarization with and adaptation to unfamiliar landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
AMS 14C dating of early human occupation of southern South America
James Steele,Gustavo G. Politis +1 more
TL;DR: Politis et al. as discussed by the authors co-ordinated the AMS dating of multiple bone and charcoal samples from previously-excavated strata at the following sites: Arroyo Seco 2, Paso Otero 5, Piedra Museo, and Cueva Tres Tetas (all in Argentina).
Journal ArticleDOI
Handedness and directional asymmetry in the long bones of the human upper limb
James Steele,Simon Mays +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that this supports the environmental hypothesis that the ontogeny of long bone length asymmetry is consequent to the earlier development of lateral bias in mechanical loading of the upper limbs.
