Long time-series ecological niche modelling using archaeological settlement data.

CR_settlement_niche_[N]_[Yr]_[BC/AD].tif

Ecological niche models in GeoTIFF format generated with the MaxEnt software based using prehistoric settlement evidence as training data and environmental layers (elevation, mean annual precipitation, mean annual temperature, landscape water balance, soil types) as background data. Raster values represent the probability of presence of a settlement.
N - chronological ordering
Yr, BC/AD - calendar years BC or AD

CR_settlement_niche_combined.tif

All models combined by averaging.

Archaeological data used to train the MaxEnt models in ESRI SHP format with the following fields:

Site_Type: Cemetery or Settlement

Archeo_Dat: Archaeological dating (culture or period)

Source: Source dataset (AMCR or LONGWOOD)

Yrs_BP_Avg: Average dating in calendar years BP (based on the archaeological dating)

Yrs_BP_Unc: Temporal uncertainty of the dating (half of the culture or period's duration)

Loc_Accur: Spatial accuracy derived from the recorded degree of the accuracy of location (radius in meters around the center point)
