The stone remains widely used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for human body weight: in those countries people may commonly be said to weigh, e.g., "11 stone 4" (11 stones and 4 pounds), rather than "72 kilograms" as in most of the other countries, or "158 pounds", the conventional way of expressing the same weight in the US and in Canada.

A reconstruction of precipitation shows two rapid, pronounced dry phases from 2350 to 2200 calBC (4.3 - 4.15 ka BP) and from 2100 to 2000 calBC (4.05 - 3.95 ka BP). [34] The dry phases were followed by a shift towards wetter conditions, suggesting a more complex pattern of climate change than other regions during the 4.2 ka event.
