Such transitions have been a constant throughout human history and therefore there is a need to learn fromthemand apply that knowledge to current land-use policies and management. Significant human impact on landscape and environment in Cantabrian Sp...

Martinez, Alexandre; Kluiving, Sjoerd; Muñoz-Rojas, José; Borja Barrera, César; Fraile Jurado, Pablo; Roldán Muñoz, EsperanzaHuman societies face challenges in transitioning towards low-carbon economies and sustainable management of land use and natural resources. Documenting and learning from past transitions helps policy-makers cope with such challenges. The agricultural revolution in Cantabrian Spain (ca. 7000 cal a bp) was one major adaptation of hunter-gatherers to a changing environment that started with the Last Glacial Maximu...
From hunter-gatherer subsistence strategies to the Agricultural Revolution: Dis...
Martinez, Alexandre; Kluiving, Sjoerd; Muñoz-Rojas, José; Borja Barrera, César; Fraile Jurado, PabloThe Holocene is defined by the impact of agricultural societies on their natural environments and resources, a paradigmatic shift triggered by the Agricultural Revolution. In Cantabrian Spain, the adoption of a sedentary economy (ca. 7000 cal yr BP) remains misunderstood, with contemporary Mesolithic and Neolithic sites apparently random dispersed. Energy Regimes, a time-independent and functional analysis of p...
Rethinking the Agrarian Transition through the lens of long-term history of sub...
Martinez, Alexandre; Kluiving, Sjoerd; Muñoz-Rojas, José; Borja Barrera, César; Farile Jurado, PabloHuman-triggered climate change is widely acknowledged as a salient challenge to societal sustainability and welfare. Yet, our understanding of how human social systems may react to future change scenarios remains largely incomplete. However, human societies are the result of a long history of changes and adaptations to changing climates and environments. Understanding how individuals and their cultures have rea...
