Humans as Agents in the Termination of the African Humid Period
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore scenarios whereby humans could be viewed as active agents in landscape denudation, and show that during the period when agriculture was adopted in northern Africa, the regions where it was occurring were at the precipice of ecological regime shifts.

Bush,Matthieu Carré,Matthieu Carré,Eric Coissac,Paulo Eduardo de Oliveira,Paulo Eduardo de Oliveira,Francesco Ficetola,Alain Hambuckers,Kangyou Huang,Anne-Marie Lézine,Majda Nourelbait,Ali Rhoujjati,Pierre Taberlet,Fausto O. Sarmiento,Daniel Abel-Schaad,Francisca Alba-Sánchez,Zhuo Zheng +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstructed and interpreted the changing range of Atlas cedar in northern Morocco over the last 9,000 years using a synthesis of fossil pollen records and performed a transient model simulation for the period between 1960 and 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing and pace of dairying inception and animal husbandry practices across Holocene North Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of faunal evidence and organic residue analyses of c. 300 archaeological vessels from sites in Algeria, Libya and Sudan to provide a broad regional and chronological perspective on domestic animal exploitation and the inception of dairying practices in Holocene North Africa.

Pollen taphonomy of cave sediments: What does the pollen record in caves tell us about external environments and how do we assess its reliability?
Chris Hunt,Marta Fiacconi +1 more
TL;DR: This article reviewed the factors affecting cave pollen taphonomy and hence the reliability of palynological analysis of sediments from caves, with suggestions for future investigation, and showed that biostratinomic, preservational, and preservative factors become very significant.

Defining the Early Neolithic of the Eastern Rif, Morocco – Spatial distribution, chronological framework and impact of environmental changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a detailed chronological framework for the Early Neolithic of the Eastern Rif of Morocco, which is characterized by the presence of ivory objects and the appearance of comb-impressed pottery with so-called herringbone motives.

TL;DR: In this paper, an examination of similar to50 globally distributed paleoclimate records reveals as many as six periods of significant rapid climate change during the time periods 9000-8000, 6000-5000, 4200-3800, 3500-2500, 1200-1000, and 600-150 cal yr B.P.

Pieter Meiert Grootes,Minze Stuiver,James W. C. White,Sigfus J Johnsen,Sigfus J Johnsen,Jean Jouzel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the complete oxygen isotope record for the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) core, drilled 28 km west of the GRIP core, and observe large, rapid climate fluctuations throughout the last glacial period.
