Description
Summary:	LandCover6k exemplifies many of the qualities that Smith (2021) promotes, and our experience as a transdisciplinary research group using archaeology and pollen data to improve land-cover change and climate models can be used to amplify some of his points and to challenge others. PAGES LandCover6k is an international working group dedicated to data-based reconstruction of both land cover (using pollen data) and land use (using archaeological and historical data) in an effort to deploy the power of these historical archives and contribute directly to the improvement of climate models (Gaillard & LandCover6k Interim Steering Group 2015; Harrison et al. 2020). [...]Smith notes that archaeology often reaches a limited audience.
