The Human Niche Space of Post-LGM Late Upper Paleolithic Europe - Supplemental Material

The data provided here are the supplemental information accompanying the journal article The Human Niche Space of Post-LGM Late Upper Paleolithic Europe: The Effects of Climate and Population Growth on Human Land Use by Yaworsky, Hussain, & Riede. All analyses were performed in R v4.3.3 and are documented in the HTML document, Supplemental 4.

List of Supplemental Files:

Spatiotemporal Archaeological Observations - File name: Archaeologicaldata_v1.csv

Archaeological observations derived from Kretschmer (2015) and supplemented with additional observations (see main paper for details).

Summed Probability Estimate for Population Estimation - File name: Population_SPD2.csv

Summed probability distribution estimating changes in relative population size across Europe from 22ka ago to 9.1ka ago using data from the P3K14C database (Bird et al, 2022; see Supplemental 4 for details).

Spatiotemporal Background Points - File name: AbsencePointData.csv

Randomly generated background points. 100 random points were generated in each millennium.

Analysis Markdown Document - File Name: CLIOARCH_MD_v1.1.html

Markdown illustrating step-by-step the methods used to organize and analyze the data.

High-Resolution Spatiotemporal Predictions - File name: SDM_MainGIF.mp4

High-resolution mp4 file showing the predictions of the potential climate niche space for humans from 22ka to 9.1ka ago.

Potential Niche Space 22ka to 9.1ka ago- File name: Human_Niche_Size.csv

Quantification of the potential climate niche space for each century.

The Climate data are not provided due to their size but are sourced from Karger et al (2023) and are accessible here (https://chelsa-climate.org/).
