European Middle and Upper Palaeolithic radiocarbon dates are often older than they look: problems with previous dates and some remedies
Antiquity - Tập 85 Số 327 - Trang 235-249 - 2011
Few events of European prehistory are more important than the transition from
ancient to modern humans around 40 000 years ago, a period that unfortunately
lies near the limit of radiocarbon dating. This paper shows that as many as 70
per cent of the oldest radiocarbon dates in the literature may be too young, due
to contamination by modern carbon. Future dates can be made more secure — and
previo...

Is there something missing in scientific provenance studies of prehistoric artefacts?
Antiquity - Tập 88 Số 340 - Trang 625-631 - 2014
Determination of the provenance of material culture by means of chemical
analysis has a long and distinguished history in archaeology. The chemical
analysis of archaeological objects started in the intellectual ferment of
late-eighteenth-century Europe (Caley 1948, 1949, 1967; Pollard 2013), almost as
soon as systematic (gravimetric) means of chemical analysis had been devised
(Pollard in prep.). ...

Inside and outside the dry stone walls: revisiting the material culture of Great Zimbabwe
Antiquity - Tập 82 Số 318 - Trang 976-993 - 2008
Abstract‘Any study of Great Zimbabwe has to rely a great deal on re-examining
and re-assessing the work of early investigators, the men who removed all the
most important finds from the ruins and stripped them of so much of their
deposits’ (Garlake 1973: 14). The authors have here done us a great service in
reviewing the surviving archaeological evidence from this world famous site.
They challenge...
The Origins of Agriculture: a Reconsideration
Antiquity - Tập 43 Số 169 - Trang 31-41 - 1969
In recent years increasing attention has been focused on the economic aspects of
the changes that took place in human groups in their evolution from
'Palaeolithic' to 'Neolithic' ways of life. Braidwood and Howe carried out
valuable pioneer work in this field and it is appropriate to quote their view of
the problem [I]. How are we to understand those great changes in mankind's way
of life which at...
Palaeoenvironmental evidence for human colonization of remote Oceanic islands
Antiquity - Tập 68 Số 259 - Trang 310-321 - 1994
Not every first footstep on a virgin shore leaves enduring trace, nor every
first human settlement an enduring deposit that chances to survive, and then
chances to be observed archaeologically. Good environmental evidence from
Mangaia Island, central East Polynesia, gives — it is contended — a fairer
picture of the human invasion of remote Oceania than the short and sceptical
chronology recently p...
Oscillating climate and socio-political process: the case of the Marquesan Chiefdom, Polynesia
Antiquity - Tập 84 Số 323 - Trang 86-102 - 2010
Does climate affect behaviour and social process? In this case study, powerful
scientific, anthropological and archaeological arguments are deployed to show
that it can. The capricious climate of the latest centuries of the Marquesas
Islands was instrumental in transforming a chieftain society into less
hereditary and more flexible polities by the time of European contact.
