A conceptual diagram titled “GRASSY BIOME FEATURES” showing different data types aligned by temporal resolution. The horizontal axis represents time, from “millennial” and “mya” (millions of years ago) on the left, to “monthly” and “annual” on the right. Various data types—such as geology, stable isotopes, DNA sequences, archaeological and social science records, modern species records, and remote sensing—are plotted along this axis based on their temporal resolution. Additional features listed include age, extent, composition, degree of modification, livelihood benefit, and maintenance processes.
What do archaeology, palaeoecology, genetics and many more have in common?
They can all be used to understand and protect our grassy landscapes! 🌾💚

Map showing how archaeological evidence (A), network analyses (B), palaeoclimatic data (C) and ethnohistoric sources (D) are combined to generate predictions and outputs about human responses to socio-political and climatic change through time (E).
#WaybackWednesday Nobody is certain when the first people settled on Madagascar, but it has been occupied for at least the last 1500 years.
The island's climate has changed a lot over this time. How did Madagascar's occupants contend with this? 🏺 ArchaeologyThreads
