“…Archaeologists must also educate scholars in other disciplines about our work, and a productive way of doing this is to publish in their journals; this is now a growing trend that should pay dividends (e.g. Barthel & Isendahl 2013;Jackson et al 2018;Lobo et al 2020;Riede et al 2020).…”

Archaeologists are increasingly publishing articles proclaiming the relevance of our field for contemporary global challenges, yet our research has little impact on other disciplines or on policy-making. Here, the author discusses three reasons for this impasse in relevance: archaeologists do not understand how relevance is constructed between fields; too little of our work follows a rigorous scientific epistemology; and we are confused about the target audiences for our messages concerning our discipline's relevance. The author suggests two strategies for moving forward: transdisciplinary collaborative research and the production of quantitative scientific results that will be useful to scientists in disciplines more closely involved in today's global challenges.

“…While mobility may encourage new ideas, new world views, access to new resources and changes in material culture, dislocation may also exacerbate inequality, poverty, famine, malnutrition and/or violence. Early Holocene trends to a more sedentary agriculture and more complex societies may also have encouraged the spread of infectious diseases (Sheets, 2016;Riede et al, 2020;Gamble et al, 2021). If migration followed a pandemic or a volcanic eruption, a return to the homeland may have been possible within years to decades (except near to the source of a VEI 7 eruption), but migration resulting from sea level rise prevented return and altered any "sense of place" 15 .…”

Global catastrophic risks (GCRs) affect a larger than hemispheric area and produce death tolls of many millions and/or economic losses greater than several trillion USD. Here I explore the biophysical, social-economic, demographic and cultural strands of four global catastrophic risks – sea level rise, a VEI 7 eruption, a pandemic, and a geomagnetic storm – one human-exacerbated at the least, one geological, one biological in large part, and one from space. Durations of these biophysical events range from a day or two to more than 100 years and the hazards associated range from none to numerous. Each of the risks has an average return period of no more than a few hundred years and lie within a range where many regulators ordinarily demand efforts in the case of less extreme events at enhancing resilience. Losses produced by GCRs and other natural hazards are usually assessed in terms of human mortality or dollars but many less tangible losses are at least as significant. Despite the varying durations, biophysical characteristics, and the wide array of potential consequences, the aftermath at global (and at more granular scales) can be summarised by one of four potential futures. While this assessment considers the present and the near future (the Anthropocene), much of this appraisal applies also to global catastrophic risks in the Early Holocene.

“…This complex geological setting of this volcanic system highlights the importance to study volcanoes from volcano geology perspective. to conduct research jointly with other experts in archaeology for instance to better understand the impact of volcanism on early civilizations [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93].…”
