Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Archaeology
  • Ecology
  • Paleontology

His primary areas of study are Archaeology, Pleistocene, Upper Paleolithic, Cave and Prehistory. His work carried out in the field of Pleistocene brings together such families of science as Glacial period, Ice age and Holocene. His research investigates the connection between Ice age and topics such as Ethnology that intersect with problems in Human migration, Genetics and Neanderthal.

The Upper Paleolithic study which covers Middle Paleolithic that intersects with Chalcolithic. His Cave research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taphonomy, Ungulate and Cannibalism. Lawrence Guy Straus interconnects Paleontology and Mesolithic in the investigation of issues within Magdalenian.

His most cited work include:

  • The genetic history of Ice Age Europe (434 citations)
  • The genetic history of Ice Age Europe (434 citations)
  • The reconstruction of past environments through small mammals : from the Mousterian to the Bronze Age in El Mirón Cave (Cantabria, Spain) (125 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Archaeology, Cave, Magdalenian, Upper Paleolithic and Ancient history. His study in Solutrean, Mesolithic, Prehistory, Pleistocene and Azilian falls within the category of Archaeology. His Pleistocene study combines topics in areas such as Younger Dryas and Holocene.

His studies deal with areas such as Paleontology, Taphonomy, Excavation, Radiocarbon dating and Antler as well as Cave. His Magdalenian course of study focuses on Glacial period and Ecology. The Upper Paleolithic study combines topics in areas such as Period, Lithic technology, Aurignacian, Middle Paleolithic and Hunter-gatherer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Archaeology (68.89%)
  • Cave (34.44%)
  • Magdalenian (30.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Archaeology (68.89%)
  • Cave (34.44%)
  • Magdalenian (30.00%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Lawrence Guy Straus focuses on Archaeology, Cave, Magdalenian, Upper Paleolithic and Solutrean. Azilian, Radiocarbon dating, Last Glacial Maximum, Pleistocene and Subsistence agriculture are subfields of Archaeology in which his conducts study. His study in Pleistocene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Younger Dryas, Prehistory, Ethnology and Mesolithic.

His work in Ethnology covers topics such as Ice age which are related to areas like Neanderthal. Lawrence Guy Straus has researched Cave in several fields, including Paleontology, Taphonomy, Antler and Ancient history. Lawrence Guy Straus focuses mostly in the field of Magdalenian, narrowing it down to matters related to Horizon and, in some cases, Hearth.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The genetic history of Ice Age Europe (434 citations)
  • The genetic history of Ice Age Europe (434 citations)
  • Late-glacial recolonization and phylogeography of European red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) (52 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Archaeology
  • Ecology
  • Paleontology

His primary areas of investigation include Archaeology, Cave, Magdalenian, Pleistocene and Upper Paleolithic. He integrates Archaeology and Settlement in his research. His Cave study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Paleontology and Radiocarbon dating.

His research in Magdalenian intersects with topics in Portable art, Antler, Ancient history and Oldest Dryas. His Pleistocene study incorporates themes from Younger Dryas, Holocene and Prehistory. His work investigates the relationship between Prehistory and topics such as Genetics that intersect with problems in Neanderthal.
