    • Early to Middle Bronze Age agricultural terraces in north-east England: Morphology, dating and cultural implications 

      Brown, Antony; Fallu, Daniel; Cucchiaro, Sara; Alonso-Eguiluz, Monica; Albert, Rosa Maria; Walsh, Kevin; Pears, Ben R.; Scaife, Rob; Langdon, Catherine; Tarolli, Paolo; Cockroft, David; Snape, Lisa; Lang, Andreas; Ascough, Philippa; Zhao, Pengzhi; Van Oost, Kristof; Waddington, Clive (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-06)
      Terracing is found widely in the Mediterranean and in other hilly and mountainous regions of the world. Yet while archaeological attention to these ‘mundane’ landscape features has grown, they remain understudied, particularly in Northern Europe. Here, the authors present a multidisciplinary study of terraces in the Breamish Valley, Northumberland. The results date their construction to the Early ...

    • High resolution ancient sedimentary DNA shows that alpine plant diversity is associated with human land use and climate change 

      Garces Pastor, Sandra; Alsos, Inger Greve; Coissac, Eric; Lavergne, Sébastien; Schwörer, Christoph; Theurillat, Jean-Paul; Heintzman, Peter D.; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Tinner, Willy; Rey, Fabian; Heer, Martina; Rutzer, Astrid; Walsh, Kevin; Lammers, Youri; Brown, Antony G.; Goslar, Tomasz; Rijal, Dilli P.; Karger, Dirk N.; Pellissier, Loïc; Heiri, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-04)
      The European Alps are highly rich in species, but their future may be threatened by ongoing changes in human land use and climate. Here, we reconstructed vegetation, temperature, human impact and livestock over the past ~12,000 years from Lake Sulsseewli, based on sedimentary ancient plant and mammal DNA, pollen, spores, chironomids, and microcharcoal. We assembled a highly-complete local DNA ...

    • Volume estimation of soil stored in agricultural terrace systems: a geomorphometric approach 

      Cucchiaro, Sara; Paliaga, G; Fallu, Daniel; Pears, Ben; Walsh, Kevin; Zhao, P; Van Oost, Kristof; Snape, Lisa; Lang, Andreas; Brown, Antony; Tarolli, Paolo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-06)
      High-resolution topographic (HRT) techniques allow the mapping and characterization of geomorphological features with wide-ranging perspectives at multiple scales. We can exploit geomorphometric information in the study of the most extensive and common landforms that humans have ever produced: agricultural terraces. We can only develop an understanding of these historical landform through in-depth ...
