Mihael Budja
I am at the Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Arts at Ljubljana University. I work mainly on the Neolithic period in Eurasia. I am interested in interdisciplinary approaches to the material culture, Neolithic transition, rapid climate changes, landscape dynamics and settlement patterns in early and middle Holocene, identities in prehistory, and to the relationship between archaeology and anthropology. I am an editor of the journal Documenta Praehistorica (http://arheologija.ff.uni-lj.si/documenta/index.html) and an organiser of the Neolithic Seminars in Ljubljana (http://arheologija.ff.uni-lj.si/seminars/index.html).

change from 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. We also discuss the triad of recent weakening of North Atlantic ocean circulation, decreased solar activity, and the hypothesised transition to a cold period, the well-known historical scenario associated with the transition to Little Ice Age between 1450 and 1850.
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).

(1st Dec 2017) been invited to a conference at Wien-OREA,
which involved certain research topics of much surprise, if only
to everybody not previously informed, and that was me.
Attached are the proceedings.
