Archaeomagnetism in the Levant and Mesopotamia Reveals the Largest Changes in the Geomagnetic Field [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022
Abstract Our understanding of geomagnetic field intensity prior to the era of direct instrumental measurements relies on paleointensity analysis of rocks and archaeological materials that serve as magnetic recorders. Only in rare cases are absolute paleointensity data sets continuous over millennial timescales, in sub‐centennial resolution, and ...

An archaeomagnetic study of the Ishtar Gate, Babylon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Data from the marriage of paleomagnetism and archaeology (archaeomagnetism) are the backbone of attempts to create geomagnetic field models for ancient times. Paleointensity experimental design has been the focus of intensive efforts and the requirements

Applying thermal demagnetization to archaeological materials: A tool for detecting burnt clay and estimating its firing temperature. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Burnt materials are very common in the archaeological record. Their identification and the reconstruction of their firing history are crucial for reliable archaeological interpretations.

Combined uranium-series and electron spin resonance dating from the Pliocene fossil sites of Aves and Milo’s palaeocaves, Bolt’s Farm, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa [PDF]

PeerJ
Bolt’s Farm is the name given to a series of non-hominin bearing fossil sites that have often been suggested to be some of the oldest Pliocene sites in the Cradle of Humankind, South Africa.

The first hominin from the early Pleistocene paleocave of Haasgat, South Africa [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Haasgat is a primate-rich fossil locality in the northeastern part of the Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here we report the first hominin identified from Haasgat, a partial maxillary molar (HGT 500), that was recovered ...

Macromammalian faunas, biochronology and palaeoecology of the early Pleistocene Main Quarry hominin-bearing deposits of the Drimolen Palaeocave System, South Africa [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The Drimolen Palaeocave System Main Quarry deposits (DMQ) are some of the most prolific hominin and primate-bearing deposits in the Fossil Hominids of South Africa UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discovered in the 1990s, excavations into the DMQ have yielded

Geophysical insights from the first geomagnetic field absolute intensity curve for central Asia (2200BCE–2000CE), and implications for archaeomagnetic dating [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Until now, the lack of high-quality paleointensity data has left Central Asia as a major gap in global and regional reconstructions of geomagnetic field intensity variations.
