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.

Comparison of XRF and PXRF for analysis of archaeological obsidian from southern Perú
Nathan Craig,Robert J. Speakman,Rachel S. Popelka-Filcoff,Michael D. Glascock,J. David Robertson,M. Steven Shackley,Mark Aldenderfer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) was used for the identification of the Chivay obsidian source in southern Peru, where the same sixty-six artifacts from the site of Jiskairumoko were compared for consistency in terms of source determination and individual element concentrations.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of monsoon megadroughts were associated with anomalous sea surface temperature anomalies that were solely the result of ENSO-like variability in the tropical Pacific.

Montane Foragers: Asana and the South-Central Andean Archaic
TL;DR: Aldenderfer's "Montane Foragers" as discussed by the authors presents a detailed case study of high-elevation foraging adaptation, his description of this extreme environment as a viable human habitat, and his theoretical model of montane foraging create a new understanding of the lifeways of foraging peoples worldwide.
