| Title: | Climate change and hunter gatherers in Ireland: problems, potentials and pressing research questions | Authors: | Warren, Graeme | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/11809 | Date: | 28-Feb-2020 | Online since: | 2020-12-11T13:07:38Z | Abstract: | This paper reviews evidence for the potential impact of climate change on the earliest human settlement of Ireland, primarily within the Mesolithic period. Three key areas are examined: the broad correlation between climate change and the timing of the settlement of Ireland; the impact of climatically driven sea level change; and, finally the influence of key Holocene climate ‘events’ such as the 8.2 cal BP Event. Ireland should be well-placed to contribute to debates about the impact of climate change on prehistoric hunter-gatherers, but much of our data is insufficiently precise to understand this in detail. | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | Royal Irish Academy | Journal: | Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Archaeology, Culture, History, Literature | Volume: | 120 | Start page: | 1 | End page: | 22 | Copyright (published version): | 2020 Royal Irish Academy | Keywords: | Climate change; Hunter gatherers; Paleoclimatology; Sea level; Radiocarbon dating; Tsunamis; Agriculture; Population dynamics; Archaeology | DOI: | 10.3318/priac.2020.120.01 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed | ISSN: | 0035-8991 | This item is made available under a Creative Commons License: | https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/ |
