TLDR
A detailed study of charcoal burning activities has been made for the Zoersel forest (Northern Belgium) based on an inventory of charcoal kiln remains, the analyses of wood charcoal and other charred botanical macroremains and radiocarbon dating of 10 of these kilns.About:

A Template‐matching Approach Combining Morphometric Variables for Automated Mapping of Charcoal Kiln Sites
TL;DR: The described method can considerably facilitate the mapping and distribution analysis of kiln sites or similar small relief forms that are prominent in a specific landscape and the number of false detections can be reduced using a combination of morphometric variables.

From features to fingerprints: A general diagnostic framework for anthropogenic geomorphology:
TL;DR: Human societies have been reshaping the geomorphology of landscapes for thousands of years, producing anthropogenic geomorphic features ranging from earthworks and reservoirs to settlements, roads, and roads.

Pre-industrial charcoal production in Lower Lusatia (Brandenburg, Germany): Detection and evaluation of a large charcoal-burning field by combining archaeological studies, GIS-based analyses of shaded-relief maps and dendrochronological age determination
Alexandra Raab,Melanie Takla,Thomas Raab,Alexander Nicolay,Anna Schneider,Horst Rösler,Karl-Uwe Heußner,Eberhard Bönisch +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combined approach using archaeological research results, GIS-analyses of shaded-relief maps (SRMs) and tree-ring dating of selected charcoal kiln remains was applied to the spatial extension and timing of charcoal production in the Janschwalder Heide and its surrounding areas.

Soils on historic charcoal hearths - terminology and chemical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the soil chemistry of 24 charcoal hearths and compared them to the surrounding natural soils in the northern Appalachians of northwestern Connecticut, finding that the topsoils on the hearths had higher carbon content than in the surrounding topsoil.

Pioneering new approaches to woodland ecology and human activity in medieval Ireland (c.500-1550AD): an investigation using archaeological charcoal
TL;DR: In this paper, acknowledgements and Explanation of Terms (EoT) are given for some of the terms used in this paper. But they are not discussed in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calibration curve for the conversion of radiocarbon ages to calibrated (cal) ages has been constructed and internationally ratified to replace IntCal98, which extended from 0-24 cal kyr BP (Before Present, 0 cal BP = AD 1950).

The Importance of Land-Use Legacies to Ecology and Conservation
David R. Foster,Frederick J. Swanson,John D. Aber,Ingrid C. Burke,Nicholas Brokaw,David Tilman,Alan K. Knapp +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of land-use history and its legacies in most ecological systems has been recognized as a legitimate and essential subject of environmental science, and recognition of these historical legacies adds explanatory power to our understanding of modern conditions at scales from organisms to the globe and reduces missteps in anticipating or managing for future conditions.

Procedures for comparing and combining radiocarbon age determinations: a critique
G. K. Ward,Sue Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a series of recommended procedures for comparing sets of radiocarbon determinations from the same and from adjacent strata or sites, and combine these where statistical and archaeological criteria indicate that this combination is warranted.
