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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the distribution index to estimate the heterogeneity of the palaeoenvironmental distribution of each taxon and thus its random, uniform or clustered distribution.

Changes in Wood Utilization Due to Iron Age Jade Mining in the Western Hexi Corridor: Wood Charcoal Investigations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the charcoal analysis of a jade mine site in Jingbaoer, in Mazong Mountain (northwest China), to explore patterns of the collection and use of wood by humans during the Iron Age.

The impact of environmental change on Palaeolithic and Mesolithic plant use and the transition to agriculture at Franchthi Cave, Greece.
TL;DR: New anthracological evidence from Franchthi Cave is presented with which to reconstruct the changing ecology of woodland vegetation in its environs during the late Pleistocene and the early-mid Holocene, and meta-analysis of the non-wood archaeobotanical data puts into question the concept of the wholesale introduction of a crop “package” by pioneer settler groups arriving from the East.

Identification of woodland management practices and tree growth conditions in archaeological fuel waste remains: A case study from the site of Çatalhöyük in central Anatolia, Turkey
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of dendroanthracological analyses conducted on the anthracological assemblage retrieved from Neolithic and Chalcolithic occupations excavated at Catalhoyuk (central Anatolia, Turkey) are presented.

Wood Charcoal Analysis in Archaeology
TL;DR: In this paper, historical and recent methodological developments in the field of wood charcoal analysis (anthracology) are discussed. But the focus of the paper is on the reconstruction of past vegetation cover, fuel wood use practices and palaeoecology.
