Arheologija in nenadne podnebne spremembe v holocenu. Prilagoditvene strategije: med kolapsom in odpornostjo / Archaeology and Rapid Climate Changes in Holocene. Adaptive Strategies: Between Collapse and Resilience
Description
Abstract: The article presents Holocene sequence of climate
anomalies, the »rapid cooling cycle« (including »glacial events«,
»rapid climate change«, and »cold events«), and global temperature
trends. In the »rapid climate change« series, we focus on the »9.2
ka« and »8.2 ka climate events« associated with the Neolithisation
proces and the transition to farming. The »5.9 IRD event« and/
or »period of rapid climate changes 6000–5200 cal yr BP« are
associated with the cultural, economic, and demographic collapse
of the early Neolithic Linear Pottery culture in central and western
Europe. The current weakened North Atlantic circulation and
reduced solar activity are compared to climate events during the
transition to the mediaeval Little Ice Age, which was characterised
by large climate variations associated with altered atmospheric air
mass circulations. In the following, we introduce the concepts of
adaptation strategies that are embedded between the catastrophic
scenario of »collapse« and the »panarchy«, i.e., the transformation
of social hierarchical structures into dynamic, adaptive units. The
transformation involves an »adaptation cycle« and the creation of
»resilience«. An attempt to equate the ecological »adaptation cycle«
with the »cultural cycle« and its introduction into archaeological
studies was presented. We also present ecological interpretations
and scenarios published in recent years by the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
