DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2021.102938
Abstract: Abstract Whilst several explanations have been proposed for the absence of fire-related behaviours at well preserved Lower Palaeolithic sites, much of the emphasis of previous research has concentrated on our ability to find fire in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2016.10.003
Abstract: Abstract Both environmental and cultural factors dictate how, when and where hunter-gatherers use fire in the landscape, as well as how well evidence for any one fire will preserve in the archaeological record. Variability in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2101108118
Abstract: Control of fire is one of the most important technological innovations within the evolution of humankind. The archaeological signal of fire use becomes very visible from around 400,000 y ago onward. Interestingly, this occurs at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0240271
Abstract: Understanding people’s practices, knowledge and perceptions of the use of fire and fire regimes can inform fire management plans that could contribute to savanna conservation and sustainable management. We investigated the frequency of fire use,… read more here.
