1 1 A proposed Franco‐German project aims at reconstructing human‐climate‐ecosystem interactions in the Persepolis Basin (southwest Iran) during the Holocene by using different archive types: lake sediment cores, peat cores, soils, and soil sediments, as well as written sources (especially for the time interval of ca. 3000–1500 BP) and archeological plant and animal remains complemented by available geochemical records. Apart from its main objectives (an evaluation of the past and present water resources in the Persepolis Basin and their availability to past human societies, and an assessment of human impacts on natural ecosystems; the establishment of human‐independent, high‐resolution, hydroclimatic records using biological proxies correlated with available geochemical records), the final goal of the project is to compare and cross‐check the acquired palaeo‐environmental datasets with already available knowledge from the Persepolis Basin to give a synthetic account of the climate–human interactions during the Holocene.

2 2 The Kiel dissertation by C. Matarese (Matarese, in press) (see Chapter 61 Migration and Deportation) will try to remedy the current lack of a comprehensive study of Achaemenid deportations.
