“…These occur in a range of forms, including marked differences in the sizes of houses, elaborate feasting, the use of craft objects made of valuable and exotic materials to mark social distinctions, increased evidence of supra‐regional exchange networks within and beyond Cyprus, possibly including the increased movement of people, and the differentiation of people in death (Bolger 2013; Peltenburg 2018; Düring et al . 2021). However, there is no evidence at present that such social distinctions were consolidated into persistent (intergenerational) social inequalities, and the development of such inequalities appears to have been resisted by Chalcolithic societies (Peltenburg 1993; 2014; Bolger et al .…”

The emergence and nature of social inequality has been the topic of a substantial amount of research in recent years, with one group of scholars concluding that social inequality increased significantly with the rise of urbanism on the basis of the application of Gini measures, and another group arguing that social inequalities existed long before urbanism and that not all urban societies were class societies. Here, we present the case of Chalcolithic Cyprus, a decidedly pre-urban period for which we have quantifiable evidence that might indicate social inequality. On the basis of this dataset we will re-evaluate recent postulates on the emergence and nature of social inequality.

Multi-proxy studies aimed at exploring the interaction between human and natural communities are becoming increasingly ambitious in scale. This is due to the recent emergence of spatially extensive open-access datasets and the refinement of advanced computational methods, including statistical approaches for co-analysing archaeological and palaeoecological datasets. In particular, the large availability of open-access data responds to a global effort to promote a large-scale adoption of the Open Science Philosophy, where international agencies and governmental institutions passionately encourage a set of behaviours and codes of practice aimed at increasing data sharing and data reuse. However, in this context, we are left with the question of whether these attempts are matched by effective data sharing and data reuse practices. In this paper, I examine the sharing and reuse, in Cyprus and across the Eastern Mediterranean, of the three main types of datasets traditionally used for understanding the interaction among human and natural communities in ancient times: archaeodemographic, palaeoecological and palaeoclimatic proxies. I also investigate the preliminary results of correlating palaeoclimatic proxies with the pattern emerging from the Summed Probability Distribution (SPD) of radiocarbon dates. Résumé. Les études multi-proxy pour explorer l'interaction entre les communautés humaines et naturelles deviennent de plus en plus ambitieuses. Cela est dû à l'apparition récente d'ensembles de données spatialement étendus en libre accès et au raffinement des méthodes informatiques, y compris les approches statistiques pour l'analyse conjointe d'ensembles de données archéologiques et paléo-écologiques. En particulier, la grande disponibilité de données en libre accès répond à l'effort mondial visant à promouvoir l'adoption à grande échelle de la philosophie de la Science Ouverte : les institutions inter-nationales et gouvernementales encouragent avec détermination un ensemble de comportements et de codes de pratique visant à accroître le partage et la réutilisation des données. On se demande cependant, dans ce contexte, si ces tentatives sont accompagnées de pratiques efficaces de partage et de réutilisation des données. Dans cet article, j'examine le partage et la réutilisation, à Chypre et en Méditerranée Orientale, des trois principaux types d'ensembles de données traditionnellement utilisés pour comprendre l'interaction entre les communautés humaines et naturelles dans l'Antiquité : les proxys 154 F.
