Archaeointensity study of five Late Bronze Age fireplaces from Corent (Auvergne, France) [PDF]
International audienceRecent excavations at Corent (France) unearthed a vast Late Bronze Age settlement. The high density of fireplaces especially highlights it. The present study focuses on the archaeomagnetic study of five fireplaces.

Reconstructing the geomagnetic field in west africa: first absolute intensity results from Burkina Faso [PDF]
We present absolute geomagnetic intensities from iron smelting furnaces discovered at the metallurgical site of Korsimoro, Burkina Faso. Up to now, archaeologists recognized four different types of furnaces based on different construction methods ...

Dipole and Nondipole Evolution of the Historical Geomagnetic Field From Instrumental, Archeomagnetic, and Volcanic Data [PDF]
Although a large number of magnetic declination and inclination measurements are available for the historical period from 1400 to 1900 CE, even the evolution of the axial dipole moment, the most prominent quantity of the geomagnetic field, is highly ...

Epsilon iron oxide: Origin of the high coercivity stable low Curie temperature magnetic phase found in heated archeological materials [PDF]
The identification of epsilon iron oxide (-Fe2O3) as the low Curie temperature high coercivity stable phase (HCSLT) carrying the remanence in heated archeological samples has been achieved in samples from two archeological sites that exhibited the ...

Bulk magnetic domain stability controls paleointensity fidelity [PDF]
Nonideal, nonsingle-domain magnetic grains are ubiquitous in rocks; however, they can have a detrimental impact on the fidelity of paleomagnetic records—in particular the determination of ancient magnetic field strength (paleointensity), a key means of ...

The impact of geomagnetic spikes on the production rates of cosmogenic 14C and 10Be in the Earth's atmosphere [PDF]
We seek corroborative evidence of the geomagnetic spikes detected in the Near East ca. 980 BC and 890 BC in the records of the past production rates of the cosmogenic nuclides 14C and 10Be.

One Hundred Thousand Years of Geomagnetic Field Evolution
Abstract Paleomagnetic records from sediments, archeological artifacts, and lava flows provide the foundation for studying geomagnetic field changes over 0–100 ka. Late Quaternary time‐varying spherical harmonic models for 0–100 ka produce a global view used to evaluate new data records, study the paleomagnetic secular variation on centennial to ...

Geomagnetic spikes on the core-mantle boundary [PDF]
Extreme variations of Earth’s magnetic field occurred in the Levant region around 1000 BC, when the field intensity rapidly rose and fell by a factor of 2.
