Data and code for demographic trends in the paper "Human responses and non-responses to climatic variations during the Last Glacial-Interglacial transition in the eastern Mediterranean"
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and evaluate human adaptations during the last glacial-interglacial climatic transition in southwest Asia, and evaluate population change from summed radiocarbon date probability distributions, which indicate contrasting trajectories in different regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored long-term trends in human population and vegetation change in the Levant from the early to the late Holocene in order to assess when and how human impact has shaped the region's landscapes over the millennia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species distribution modelling of ancient cattle from early Neolithic sites in SW Asia and Europe
TL;DR: The results show that there is an expansion of cattle rearing in more temperate environments, which is a defining characteristic of the European early Neolithic.
BookDOI
The Origins and Spread of Domestic Animals in Southwest Asia and Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors tackle the fundamental and broad-scale questions concerning the spread of early animal herding from its origins in the Near East into Europe beginning in the mid-10th millennium BC.
