78,000-year-old record of Middle and Later Stone Age innovation in an East African tropical forest [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
Most of the archaeological record of the Middle to Later Stone Age transition comes from southern Africa. Here, Shipton et al. describe the new site Panga ya Saidi on the coast of Kenya that covers the last 78,000 years and shows gradual cultural and ...

The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa [PDF]

eLife, 2017
New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th and palaeomagnetic analyses of flowstones to establish that all sediments containing ...

New directions in archaeomagnetism

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2001
Since the first magnetic analyses of archaeological materials were carried out over a century ago, archaeomagnetic reference curves are now available covering the last few millennia. It would seem to be an appropriate time to examine the archaeomagnetic record to see how it can be improved.

Recent advances in archaeomagnetism.

Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity, 1985
This review of archaeomagnetism covers advances made during the last three years in (i) instrumentation for determining the direction and magnitude of the archaeomagnetic field, (ii) analytical and sampling techniques and (iii) the production of large data sets of both secular variation and field magnitude.

Archaeomagnetism from Bronze Age and Iron Age archaeological settlements in Turkey [PDF]

, 2022
Turkey is extremely rich in archaeological sites, with ages from the Paleolithic (pre ~12.000 BC) onward. Archaeomagnetism derives the direction and intensity of the ancient Earth´s magnetic field from burnt archaeological artefacts of known age.

Archaeomagnetic Dating of Three Furnaces inside the Middle Age Settlement of San Genesio (San Miniato, Pisa, Italy)

Land, 2022
Archaeomagnetic dating using full geomagnetic vector was performed on three furnaces cropping out at San Genesio archaeological zone, an ancient settlement located in the Arno River plain, near San Miniato (Pisa).

Magnetic characteristics of Chinese archaeological bricks and their implications for archaeomagnetism

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Fired archaeological objects have been widely studied in palaeomagnetic research. However, the uneven heating during the firing process can affected the type, grain size and magnetic domain characteristics of the magnetic carrier, which in turn can led ...

Mapping magnetism: Geophysical modelling of stratigraphic features by using in situ magnetic susceptibility measurements at Pinnacle Point 5‐6 North, South Africa

Geoarchaeology, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 840-857, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract This study utilizes geostatistical modelling of magnetic susceptibility (MS) for geophysical prospection of archaeological stratigraphy at the Middle Stone Age rock shelter site of Pinnacle Point 5‐6 North. These models are overlaid onto high‐resolution photography of the stratigraphic sequence to study the lateral and vertical changes within ...
