Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

A Mechanism of Formaticn of Fluvial Terraces
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1966 Two examples of microtopography of fluvial terrace plains are described from the River Shinano, central Japan (Figs. 2 and 3). The topography consists of narrow, shallow depression beneath the backward scarp, and of low swells in front of the depression. They are regarded as abandoned channels and old meander-channel bars, respectively. Another example

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Performance evaluation of three DEM‐based fluvial terrace mapping methods
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016 AbstractThe availability of high‐resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveys has spurred the development of several methods to identify and map fluvial terraces. The post‐glacial landscape of the Sheepscot River watershed, Maine, where land‐use change has produced fill terraces upstream ...

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland
Boreas, EarlyView.Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.

Fluvial terraces along the Tama River, Kanto district.
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1990 The Tama River flows from the Kanto Mountains, 1, 000 to 2, 000 meters high, and across the Kanto Plain into Tokyo Bay. Fluvial terraces from the Late Pleistocene are well developed along the river. They are classified into four groups according to the differences in the relative height above the river floor and in the tephra-cover.
