New paper (I had a very minor role) with lovely folks interested in complex past social systems. Focusing on the Carpathian basin, the article argues that while social groups change with environmental variations, they do so in unpredictable and unique ways. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Adaptive connectivity networks across climatic and ecological regimes from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages in the Carpathian Basin

Investigating long-term archaeological land-use patterns is crucial for understanding how past populations adjusted settlement strategies, resource ex…

Understanding a first attempt at pottery: early fired containers at Çemka Höyük | Antiquity | Cambridge Core

This study examines clay fragments found at Çemka Höyük, a Pre-Pottery Neolithic site in Mardin, Türkiye (tenth millennium BC). Analysis of mineral inclusions in the clay matrix indicates that these fragments may have been deliberately fired, representing an early example of ceramic technology in South-west Asia. The diversity of forms identified and their likely uses suggest, the authors argue, a formative phase in ceramic innovation during which the properties and potential applications of clay were explored by the local community and adopted and adapted within existing social and economic traditions in advance of widespread application in the seventh millennium BC.
