Keep the discussion going! Our response to Nielsen’s comment
Abstract
Highlights: • Continuous critical dialogues. • Plurality is informative. • Demographic inference is model‑dependent. • Methodological choices shape interpretative outcomes. Abstract: This article offers a response to Nielsen’s commentary on the authors’ earlier study Variation in the number of radiocarbon (14C) dates does not equal change in Neolithic population size over time. Clarifying some misunderstandings in Nielsen’s commentary, the authors emphasise the value in continuous critical dialogues in advancing archaeological research on prehistoric demography.
