Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

FLUVIAL PROCESSES IN ATTACHMENT BARS IN THE UPPER PARANÁ RIVER, BRAZIL
Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia, 2017 Bars are semi-submerged fluvial forms associated with the availability of sediments and a temporal dynamic, whose dimensions are controlled by the flow and depth of the channel.

Contemporary and historic river channel change at Swinhope bum, Weardale: a study of river response to flood events in an upland, gravel-bed stream [PDF]
, 1998 The response of upland gravel-bed streams to floods has long been associated with high levels of erosion and deposition, often resulting in major changes in channel form. This largely stems from observations of upland channels immediately following large

Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology : Problem Statement and Recent Practice
, 2016 International audienceThis introduction presents an overview of concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of the book. The book reviews the range of tools employed by geomorphologists and links clearly the choice of tools to the question posed, thereby

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

The geomorphology of coarse clastic surfaces in arid environments [PDF]
, 2002 This study explores the linkages between slope form and slope process in arid environments. In doing so, questions of the development of slopes in arid environments are examined.

Boreas, EarlyView.The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

The evolution of the Congo- Kalahari Watershed: African mega-geomorphology
, 2014 Includes bibliographical references.Africa's bimodal elevation, low in the north and west, and high in the south and east, is globally unique. The Congo–Kalahari Watershed represents the transition between low and high Africa.

Boreas, EarlyView.We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

RELATING FLUVIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY TO MACROINVERTEBRATE DISTRIBUTION [PDF]
, 2016 Modern rivers undergo constant stress from disturbances such as bank stabilization, channelization, dams, and water expenditures. As these anthropogenic activities persist, efficient methods of characterizing rivers remain essential.
