The advance of cultivation at its northern European limit: process or event? (2016)
Journal Article
Lahtinen, M., Oinonen, M., Tallavaara, M., Walker, J., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2017). The advance of cultivation at its northern European limit: process or event?. Holocene, 27(3), 427-438. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683616660164

Dates for early cultivation in Finland obtained from pollen analysis and remains from archaeological sites are compared with the changes in population size derived from the summed calendar-year probability distributions. The results from these two in... Read More about The advance of cultivation at its northern European limit: process or event?.

Herbivore Diets and the Anthropogenic Environment of Early Farming in Southern Scandinavia (2016)
Journal Article
Gron, K., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2017). Herbivore Diets and the Anthropogenic Environment of Early Farming in Southern Scandinavia. Holocene, 27(1), 98-109. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683616652705

Farming practice in the first period of the southern Scandinavian Neolithic (Early Neolithic I, Funnel Beaker Culture, 3950–3500 cal. BC) is not well understood. Despite the presence of the first farmers and their domesticated plants and animals, lit...

Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle (2016)
Journal Article
Gron, K., Montgomery, J., Otto Nielsen, P., Nowell, G., Peterkin, J. L., Sørensen, L., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2016). Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 6, 248-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2016.02.015

The movement of livestock across and within landscapes is increasingly being recognized as common in northern European prehistoric contexts, and was performed for various purposes. However, almost nothing is known about the movement of livestock in t... Read More about Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle.

Hunter-Gatherer variability: developing the models for the northern coasts (2016)
Journal Article
Rowley-Conwy, P., & Piper, S. (2016). Hunter-Gatherer variability: developing the models for the northern coasts. Arctic, 69(5), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4623

Hunter-fisher-gatherer (HFG) variability has received a lot of attention. We review the key developments in the theories of variability, which have usually resulted in binary classifications. We argue that a range of variation based on the degree of... Read More about Hunter-Gatherer variability: developing the models for the northern coasts.
