Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Irish bog and lake tree populations provide evidence of major shifts in surface moisture through the Holocene similar to cycles recorded in the marine realm of the North Atlantic, indicating significant changes in the latitude and intensity of zonal atmospheric circulation across the region. To test for human response to these cycles the authors summed the probabilities of 465 radiocarbon ages obtained from Irish archaeological contexts and observed enhanced archaeological visibility during periods of sustained wet conditions. These results suggest either increasing density of human populations in key, often defensive locations, and/or the development of subsistence strategies to overcome changing conditions, the latter recently proposed as a significant factor in avoiding societal collapse. The authors contend that environmental change is a significantly more important factor in influencing human activity in the landscape than has hitherto been acknowledged. | ||
