TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a method of generating a random sample of simulated 14C determinations, from a specified distribution, with variable data densities and measurement errors, and compare the resulting proxy population curve to the known population distribution from which it was generated, to see whether known population fluctuations are unambiguously visible on a proxy curve derived from 14C data sets.

TL;DR: An extensive programme of AMS-dating of charred broomcorn millet grains from 75 prehistoric sites in Europe provides a new, high-resolution chronological framework for this key agricultural development that likely contributed to far-reaching changes in lifestyle in late 2nd millennium bc Europe.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, according to the debate as it has been played out in the uncalibrated chronology, the EPPNB phase originated in north Syria around 9 600 BP and the southern Levantine PPNB began around 9 350/9 300 BP.

TL;DR: A revised chronology of the latest Huleh pollen diagram is proposed in this paper, which is consistent with the regional vegetation sequence recorded in eastern Mediterranean marine sediments, and provides the most plausible chronology for the Ghab pollen diagrams.

TL;DR: This article explored Australian small-scale rural lifestyle landowners' perceptions of and experiences with natural resource management (NRM) extension and incentive programs and discussed means to better match such programmes to these landowners' NRM interests, assistance needs and delivery preferences.
