Data from: Archaeological data with AI- and physics-based modeling explain typhoon-induced disasters in inland China around 3000 BP

Climate change-related extreme events during the mid-late Holocene,
especially around 3000 years before the present (yr B.P.), severely
threatened human survival and cultural development at various locations.
However, although marked social change during this period in China have
also been reported to coincide with extreme disasters, the causes and
impacts of these events remain unclear. Here, we aligned paleoclimate
reconstructions with quantitative analyses of archeological evidence,
including oracle bone scripts, together with artificial intelligence- and
physics-based model simulations to uncover the causes. We found that
intensified typhoon activities exerted considerable impacts on climate
extremes and social change in inland China around 3000 yr B.P. These
findings underscore the urgent need to improve preparedness for
today's typhoon-induced disasters in the context of accelerating
climate change.
