Cross-disciplinary Studies Into Our Past
It is in the nature of cross-disciplinary research that it may fail to find a home in a specialist academic journal; perhaps because it would stray outside their normal subject matter, but more likely, because it may cite evidence that a specialist referee fails to see the relevance. Such broader enquiry may also challenge long-accepted theories or lead to novel conclusions.
The articles cover various subject areas to shine a new light on events in the recent human past, including, but not limited-to: astronomy, geophysics, geology, archaeology, mythology, folklore, calendars, climate history, sea-level changes, ancient history, DNA, linguistics and others. There are no constraints on where useful evidence about the past may lie, to fill the cracks between the academic disciplines. Supernova Ejecta and the Dangers to Earth
