The uncertain blitzkrieg of Pleistocene megafauna (2004, background): “The bulk of evidence points to an anthropogenic role in the extinctions (Kay, 1998), although the effect of humans is not clear-cut (Beck, 1996; Grayson, 2001; Brook & Bowman, 2002), as evidenced by the world-wide survival of some large vertebrates, and in particular the diverse African large…”
Behavioral Ecology and Archaeology (2006, background): “…Native Californian economies but also challenges widely held views of traditional hunter-gatherers as conservationists, recognizing them instead as active agents of ecological change (see Grayson, 2001; Kay and Simmons, 2002, for more on this topic, especially from an optimal foraging perspective).”
Prey spatial structure and behavior affect archaeological tests of optimal foraging models: Examples from the Emeryville Shellmound vertebrate fauna (2002, background): “These studies, based on analyses of archaeological vertebrate data, reect a growing interest in understanding the details of how non-industrial peoples structured the environments in which they lived and many far-reaching implications for human prehistory have emerged from them (Alvard 1994; Steadm”
Did climatic seasonality control late Quaternary artiodactyl densities in western North America (2008, background): “By the early late Holocene (4500–2500 BP), however, artiodactyls dominate many archaeofaunal profiles from a widely disparate set of ecological settings across the state (Broughton, 1994, 1999, 2002; Grayson, 2001; Hildebrandt and McGuire, 2002).”
Evolutionary Ecology, Resource Depression, and Niche Construction Theory: Applications to Central California Hunter-Gatherers and Mimbres-Mogollon Agriculturalists (2010, background): “Analyses of prehistoric resource depression thus have far-reaching implications, and consequently, they represent one of the better developed areas in the archaeological application of EE (see reviews in Broughton 2002, 2004a, b; Grayson 2001; Lupo 2007).”
A brief history of Great Basin pikas (2005, background): “While it is certainly possible that humans played a role in determining aspects of past pika history in the Great Basin (e.g. Grayson, 2001), anthropogenic factors of the sort examined by Beever et al. (2003) are obviously not an issue for the prehistoric records assessed here.”
Animal Translocations: What are they and why do we do them? (2012, background): “The variety of animals shown to have been translocated by prehistoric human colonists has been described as ‘astonishing’, with archaeological evidence of numerous and widespread human-mediated introductions as far back as tens of millennia, during the Pleistocene (Grayson, 2001).”
Prey Body Size and Ranking in Zooarchaeology: Theory, Empirical Evidence, and Applications from the Northern Great Basin (2011, background): “…et al. 2007; Butler 2000; Butler and Campbell 2004; Byers and Broughton 2004; Byers et al. 2005; Byers and Smith 2007; Cannon 2003; Faith 2007; Grayson 2001; Grayson and Delpech 1998; Hildebrandt and Jones 2002; Jones et al. 2008; Kennett 2005; Lyman 2003a, 2003b; Morin 2004, 201 1 ; Nagaoka…”
Radiocarbon chronologies and extinction dynamics of the Late Quaternary mammalian megafauna of the Taimyr Peninsula, Russian Federation (2002, background): “…in general terms when Quaternary extinctions took place, but also in revealing whether or not individual extinctions were temporally coordinated in those places where large losses occurred (Faunmap Working Group, 1996; Beck, 1996; Martin & Steadman, 1999; MacPhee et al., 1999; Grayson, 2001).”
Gazelle bone fat processing in the Levantine Epipalaeolithic (2005, background): “Studies of resource intensification have comprised a major dimension of archaeological inquiry over the past few decades [21,25,26,42,44,91].”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…to cause the extinction of more than half of Earth’s mammalian megafauna, yielding trophic cascading effects on ecosystems coupled with the direct effects of landscape burning to enhance hunting and foraging success (Grayson 2001, Barnosky 2008, Estes et al. 2011, Doughty 2013, Barnosky 2014).”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…1967, 1984, 1990), there are recent and historical examples from island habitats where overhunting likely played an important contributory role in the extinction of a species (e.g., Anderson 2002; Burney et al. 2003; Duncan et al. 2002; Kirch 1996; Steadman 1995; see especially Grayson 2001).”
