  • Short-term events such as volcanic eruptions or sociopolitical crises led to rapid changes in the ecosystem or to transformation and technological innovation of the local social hierarchy.

    “Short-term events such as volcanic eruptions or sociopolitical crises led to rapid changes in the ecosystem or to transformation and technological innovation of the local social hierarchy (Brandes 2005; Büntgen et al. 2016).”

    From From landscape affordances to landscape connectivity: contextualizing an archaeology of human ecology (2020) · cites this paper as Büntgen et al. 2016

    The Abstract (page unavailable) reports abrupt cooling after the eruptions of 536, 540 and 547 CE and considers that cooling an environmental factor in major societal changes. It cautions that a causal link to political upheaval is difficult to establish. It does not support the claim that sociopolitical crises drove rapid ecosystem change or that these events produced technological innovation in local social hierarchies. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
