We also hypothise that any "climate-conflict linkages" vary meaningfully through time according evolving socioeconomic, political and cultural background in which climatic changes and extreme weather occurred. This project hypothesises that climatic changes, including periods of drought, flooding and other extreme weather, are linked to patterns of violence and conflict in the Ancient Near East. ![]()
