“…By identifying divergence events, researchers can ultimately reconstruct the patterns of cultural evolution (Mace and Holden, 2005;O'Brien et al, 2003;Rivero, 2016;. After its initial use in Paleoindian stone artifacts (O'Brien et al, 2002;O'Brien et al, 2001), this approach has been successfully applied in various artifacts, time periods, and regions (Marwick, 2012;Riede, 2008;Rivero and O'Brien, 2014;Tripp, 2016).…”

This is my PhD dissertation. In this research, I explore the technological transition from the Early to Late Paleolithic in Korea represented by the appearance of stemmed points through evolutionary concepts including human behavioral ecology (HBE) and cultural transmission (CT). I also examined differentlikely uses of stemmed points by measuring tip cross-sectional area (TCSA). The previous studies have primarily discussed the origin and route of stemmed points and blades while my research focuses more on related human behaviors and decision-making processes. I raised three questions to address cultural and environmental roles in the technological transition: what changes in foragers’ landscape use and mobility were associated with the introduction of new tools? What were stemmed points used for? And what was the dominant mode of cultural transmission during the time of technological innovation in the Korean Late Paleolithic? My approach to answer these questions is combined with traditional theoretical frameworks and novel methods for testing hypotheses.

“…Broadly, the degree of transmission was evaluated by interpreting the consistency or retention index (RI) provided in a cladistic analysis. The RI examines the relationship between the fraction of possible homoplasy in the tree divided by the maximum possible value of homoplasy with values closest to zero indicating complete homoplasy and values closer to one indicating no homoplasy (Tripp 2016). The predominant view is that higher RI values indicate a stronger fit of the data to bifurcating tree model with a related assumption of greater vertical transmission, whereas lower RI values indicated higher amounts of horizontal transmission.…”

“…Archaeology is another human science in which phylogenetic analysis has gained some traction in the last decades. Spurred by the development of, initially, the notion of the extended phenotype and later the emergence of cultural evolutionary theory [15,16], archaeologists have adopted phylogenetic methods to model and understand artefact evolution [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Yet, artefacts can be described in many ways and archaeologists have devised countless, often not readily compatible qualitative and quantitative ways of doing so.…”

Phylogenetic models are commonly used in paleobiology to study the patterns and processes of organismal evolution. In the human sciences, phylogenetic methods have been deployed for reconstructing ancestor-descendant relationships using linguistic and material culture data. Within evolutionary archaeology specifically, phylogenetic analyses based on maximum parsimony and discrete traits dominate, which sets limitations for the downstream role cultural phylogenies, once derived, can play in more elaborate analytical pipelines. Moreover, the use of discrete character traits in these efforts prevails, which in turn sets a number of non-trivial challenges. Recent methodological advances in Bayesian phylogenetics, however, now allow us to infer evolutionary dynamics using continuous characters. Capitalizing on these developments, we here present an exploratory analysis of cultural macroevolution of projectile point shape evolution in the European Final Palaeolithic and earliest Mesolithic (~15,000-11,000 BP) using a Bayesian phylodynamic approach and the fossilised birth-death process model. This model-based approach leaps far beyond the application of parsimony, in that it not only produces a tree, but also divergence times, and diversification rates, while incorporating uncertainties. This allows us to compare rates to the pronounced climatic changes that occurred during our timeframe. While common in cultural evolutionary analyses of language, the extension of Bayesian phylodynamic models to archaeology represents a major methodological breakthrough.
