The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland Acknowledgements The Handbook of Evolutionary Research in Archaeology evolved from a series of discussions between the editor (Anna Prentiss) and the executive editor for Archaeology and Anthropology at Springer (Teresa Krauss). After meetings in Kyoto, Japan, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, we agreed that this would be a productive effort, and the project was initiated. Teresa has subsequently played a significant role in developing the vision for this book and guiding it through its various stages including designing specific content, peer review, final submissions, and book production. I am grateful for all the work by our international group of contributors including (in approximate order by chapter) Matt Walsh (National Museum of Denmark), Felix Riede (Aarhus University, Den- mark), Sean O’Neal (Aarhus University, Denmark), Nathan Goodale (Hamilton College, USA), Anne Kandler (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany), Enrico Crema (University of Cambridge, England), Cheyenne Laue (University of Montana, USA), Alden Wright (University of Montana, USA), Larissa Mendoza Straffon (Leiden University, the Netherlands), Erik Gjesfjeld (University of Cambridge, England), Peter Jordan (University of Groningen, the Netherlands), Charles Spencer (American Museum of Natural History, USA), Lisa Nagaoka (University of North Texas, USA), Kristen Gremillion (The Ohio State University, USA), Colin Quinn (Hamilton College, USA), Nicole Herzog (Boise State University, USA), Cedric Puleston (University of California, Davis, USA), Bruce Winterhalder (University of California, Davis, USA), Marc Abramiuk (California State University Channel Islands, USA), and Duilio Garofoli (University of Tübingen, Germany). Many of these scholars are early to mid-career, and I think this bodes extremely well for the future of evolutionary research in archaeology. I am also very grateful to our two dedicated peer reviewers for the diligence in reading this lengthy collection and for their excellent and useful comments. Their work makes a big difference to the quality of the contents of this book. I thank the University of Montana for awarding me with a year-long sabbatical that opened the time to write chapters and edit much of the collection. The sabbatical was partially funded by a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities (grant RZ-230366-1). Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in the chapters authored by me in this book do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities. I also thank the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the University of Cambridge, England, (and especially Cyprian Broodbank) for providing me with a visiting scholar position during the sabbatical that facilitated writing time and offered a very stimulating academic environment within which to work. I thank (in no particular order) Matt Walsh, Cheyenne Laue, Enrico Crema, Erik Gjesfjeld, Sean O’Neal, Charles Spencer, Bruce Winterhalder, Nathan Goodale, Jim Chatters, Tom Foor, and Ian Kuijt for many stimulating conversations in person and over email. Special thanks to Tanja Hoffman and Susanne Hakenbeck for support, friendship, and good conversations during my time in Cambridge. v vi Acknowledgements Finally, I thank my family for their unwavering support and endless patience, while I travelled around the world developing this project (among other things) and, subsequently, spent long hours hidden away getting some writing done! Research Data Policy: A submission to this book implies that materials described in the manuscript, including all relevant raw data, will be freely available to any researcher wishing to use them for non-commercial purposes, without breaching participant confidentiality. The publisher strongly encourages that all datasets on which the conclusions of the chapter rely should be available to readers. We encourage authors to ensure that their datasets are either deposited in publicly available repositories (where available and appropriate) or presented in the main manuscript or additional supporting files whenever possible. Please see Springer Nature’s information on recommended repositories: List of Repositories. General repositories – for all types of research data – such as figshare and Dryad may be used where appropriate. Where a widely established research community expectation for data archiving in public reposito- ries exists, submission to a community-endorsed, public repository is mandatory. Persistent identifiers (such as digital object identifiers (DOIs) and accession numbers) for relevant datasets must be provided in the chapter. Data Availability: All original chapters must include a data availability statement. Data availability statements should include information on where data supporting the results reported in the chapter can be found including, where applicable, hyperlinks to publicly archived datasets analysed or generated during the study. By data, we mean the minimal dataset that would be necessary to interpret, replicate, and build upon the findings reported in the chapter. We recognise it is not always possible to share research data publicly, for instance, when individual privacy could be compromised, and in such instances, data availability should still be stated in the manuscript along with any conditions for access. Data availability statements can take one of the following forms (or a combination of more than one if required for multiple datasets): 1. The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are available in the [NAME] repository, [PERSISTENT WEB LINK TO DATASETS] 2. The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are not publicly available due [REASON WHY DATA ARE NOT PUBLIC] but are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. 3. The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. 4. Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analysed during the current study. 5. All data generated or analysed during this study are included in this published article [and its supplementary information files]. 6. The data that support the findings of this study are available from [third party name], but restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for the current study, and so are not publicly available. Data are however available from the authors upon reasonable request and with permission of [third party name]. The publisher also requires that authors cite any publicly available data on which the conclusions of the chapter rely in the manuscript. Data citations should include a persistent identifier (such as a DOI) and should ideally be included in the reference list. Citations of datasets, when they appear in the reference list, should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite and follow journal style. Dataset identifiers including DOIs should be expressed as full URLs. Research Data and Peer Review: Peer reviewers are encouraged to check the manuscript’s data availability statement, where applicable. They should consider if the authors have complied with the book’s policy on the availability of research data and whether reasonable effort has been made to make Acknowledgements vii the data that support the findings of the study available for replication or reuse by other researchers. Peer reviewers are entitled to request access to underlying data (and code) when needed for them to perform their evaluation of a manuscript.
