Abstract
This paper discusses the models that explain prehistoric and historic land degradation in Jordan in the context of the environmental processes that shaped the landscapes of the eastern fringes of the Mediterranean region during the late Quaternary. The discussion is based on a review of the literature concerning mostly historical, archaeological, geographical, geomorphological, and palaeoecological research in Jordan and focuses primarily on the history of ideas and on the identification of current research approaches to the problem. This paper also presents the preliminary data obtained in a current geoarchaeological research project that involves the study of alluvial stratigraphy, soils, and palaeovegetation in relation to the cultural development of the region since pre-agricultural times. The character of this region as an agricultural frontier was an important factor in the formation of the landscapes that we see today. Most of the data reviewed here suggest that the non-forest Mediterranean and ste...

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
