“…The Late-Holocene is also characterized by centennial scale events of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) occurring between 1.2 and 0.9 cal kyrs BP, followed by the Little Ice Age (LIA) occurring from 1.8 to 1.3 cal kyrs BP. The availability of resources in terms of food, water, lithic raw materials and so on were vital factors in influencing cultural activities and human settlement patterns (Davies, 2005; Oguchi et al, 2008; Wilkinson, 2000). Several transitions were initiated during different cultural phases of the Indian Subcontinent which appear to be adaptive measures taken in order to cope with the changing climatic conditions.…”

The Holocene

From the early Holocene onward, the Indian Subcontinent has accommodated a range of diverse human cultures and associated ecological adaptations and lifestyles. Around 10 kyrs ago, the Subcontinent has witnessed the development of later Mesolithic hunter-gatherers and their subsequent regional transitions to pastoralist (Neolithic) and agricultural (Chalcolithic) lifeways. The Holocene climate records reveal discrepancies in the timing and duration of climatic events, which can be attributed to a vast geographic isolation, the influence of height, elevation, and local climatic conditions. These changing climatic patterns including the development of a geographically variable monsoon directly impacted these various cultures including the Harappans and their contemporaries as well as younger Historical and Medieval empires across India, at various levels. In some regions, environmental changes led to uneven cultural transitions, geographic migrations, and the development of regionally-distinct material cultures along with establishment of sedentary life-ways. This paper attempts to present a review broadly correlating general climatic patterns throughout the Holocene period of India with regional cultural dynamics. All geomorphic-climatic zones of the Subcontinent showed strong inter-proxy coherence between 9 and 5 kyrs in response to increased precipitation. After this warming period ends, we see a moderate dry period as a result of a weakening monsoon and an overall tendency toward aridity throughout all zones (after 4 kyrs). The temporal variation of human habitation and respective adaptive responses suggest broad linkages to the varying climatic and physiographic features at a regional scale. Learning how this shaped human eco-dynamics in the past can help us expand our understanding of human history and implement lessons for the present as well as the future.

“…Archaeology in Southwest Asia has a long history of regional survey that incorporates aerial perspectives and remote sensing ( [46]; e.g., [2,8,[47][48][49][50][51][52]). In fact, archaeologists working in Southwest Asia have been particularly pioneering in the use of historic aerial photography and declassified spy satellite imagery ( [46]; e.g., [14,[53][54][55][56][57]), and the use of declassified 1960-1972 CORONA imagery is now commonplace in regional studies thanks to the availability of orthorectified imagery from the CORONA Atlas [53,54].…”

Remote Sensing

Satellite remote sensing is well demonstrated to be a powerful tool for investigating ancient land use in Southwest Asia. However, few regional studies have systematically integrated satellite-based observations with more intensive remote sensing technologies, such as drone-deployed multispectral sensors and ground-based geophysics, to explore off-site areas. Here, we integrate remote sensing data from a variety of sources and scales including historic aerial photographs, modern satellite imagery, drone-deployed sensors, and ground-based geophysics to explore pre-modern land use along the Upper Diyala/Sirwan River in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Our analysis reveals an incredible diversity of land use features, including canals, qanats, trackways, and field systems, most of which likely date to the first millennium CE, and demonstrate the potential of more intensive remote sensing methods to resolve land use features. Our results align with broader trends across ancient Southwest Asia that document the most intensive land use in the first millennium BCE through the first millennium CE. Land use features dating to the earlier Bronze Age (fourth through second millennium BCE) remain elusive and will likely require other investigative approaches.

Menulis adalah melukiskan suatu yang ada dalam pikiran atau membuat memori menjadi kenyataan dan sebagian mengatakan mengaksarakan pikiran dan logika dalam media. Makna sederhana tentang menulis adalah menyampaikan ide dalam suatu plaorm baik melalui kertas atau media digital. Tulisan adalah ibarat symbol masa lampau tentang peradaban manusia, mengejawantahkan persembahan manusia tentang pemahaman suatu zaman atau sebuah katalis dari peradaban manusia. Berangkat pada makna di atas, maka seap menulis adalah karya yang harus disusun atas landasan perencanaan dan penyusunan yang matang, agar memberi pencerahan yang baik pada suatu topik ulasan. Penyusunan tersebut tentunyamemiliki ﬁlosoﬁ tersendiri yang berbeda dengan yang lain. Tulisan berjudul “Filsafat Ilmu di Era Milenial” sudah sangat banyak dan tersebar luas di banyak kalangan, meskipun demikian, buku ini tetap mempunyai nilai ﬁlosoﬁs dengan makna berbeda dengan karya sejenis sebagai torehan pemikiran yang berbeda minimal pada aspekruang dan waktu. Buku ini terdiri atas 9 Bab,
