Impacts of hunter-gatherers on the vegetation history of the eastern vale of pickering, Yorkshire
No full textResearch is undertaken into the vegetation and human impact at three previously un-researched archaeological sites from the eastern Vale of Pickering. The vegetation history is reconstructed from the end of the Windermere Interstadial c. 13,000 (^14)C yr BP until the final Mesolithic c. 5100 (^14)C yr BP. The early Mesolithic human impact on the vegetation is assessed using a three stage statistical test to establish the internal variability in the data as well as background variations in pollen output. The results reveal that humans had a small but significant impact on the vegetation around two of the sites. Pollen preservation at the third site precluded analyses of the impacts of humans on the vegetation. The three-stage test used to test for human impact was quite successful but requires revision before any further use. On the whole the tests confirmed the findings of conventional human impact analyses. During the pre-Holocene fires occurred on a regular basis. These fires varied in location and intensity, suggesting that some of the fires were regional or large-scale, whilst others were small and very localized. A multi-causal explanation has been given for the fires. Later, during the early Mesolithic, human groups are thought to have burnt the reedswamp at the lake edges as part of an economic strategy. Star Carr is the only site that demonstrates clearance of significant areas of woodland. During the later Mesolithic the hunter-gatherers have a greater impact on the vegetation within the Vale. This is attributed to the need for more resources as a result of vegetation change and increased population levels. Unlike their counter-parts from the North York Moors, the occupants of the lowland Vale of Pickering cause no long-term change to their environment
Sampling power-law distributions
No full textPower-law distributions describe many phenomena related to rock fracture. Data collected to measure the parameters of such distributions only represent samples from some underlying population. Without proper consideration of the scale and size limitations of such data, estimates of the population parameters, particularly the exponent D, are likely to be biased. A Monte Carlo simulation of the sampling and analysis process has been made, to test the accuracy of the most common methods of analysis and to quantify the confidence interval for D. The cumulative graph is almost always biased by the scale limitations of the data and can appear non-linear, even when the sample is ideally power law. An iterative correction procedure is outlined which is generally successful in giving unbiased estimates of D. A standard discrete frequency graph has been found to be highly inaccurate, and its use is not recommended. The methods normally used for earthquake magnitudes, such as a discrete frequency graph of logs of values and various maximum likelihood formulations can be used for other types of data, and with care accurate results are possible. Empirical equations are given for the confidence limits on estimates of D, as a function of sample size, the scale range of the data and the method of analysis used. The predictions of the simulations are found to match the results from real sample D-value distributions. The application of the analysis techniques is illustrated with data examples from earthquake and fault population studies
