Stability of megalithic structures against overturning

Journal of Cultural Heritage, 2015
Abstract When restoration works are carried out on a megalithic monument, the study of the structure's stability is always a significant task. In this paper, the overturning stability problem regarding megalithic structures is presented. Classical and advanced theories are implemented in a computer program to obtain the orthostat's overturning safety

Neolithic human impact on landscapes related to megalithic structures: palaeoecological evidence from the Krähenberg, northern Germany

Journal of Archaeological Science, 2014
New aspects of prehistoric forest use and human activities around megalithic graves were inferred from a palaeoecological study at Krahenberg, northern Germany. Five megalithic graves of the Funnel Beaker Culture are located very close, i.e. ca. 100 m south-west of a small mire which was investigated for pollen and charcoal records.

The Use of Wood in Megalithic Structures

Antiquity, 1937
Long ago one of our oldest French prehistorians, Gustave Chauvet, called attention to the probable existence of a wooden framework over the structures beneath tumuli. At a Congress of the A.F.A.S. held at Nantes in 1875 he described the digging of seven tumuli at La Boixe (Charente) containing burials of the polished Stone Age. Two of them covered true

The Language of the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Megalithic Structures of the Earth

2021
This is the first in a series of books on deciphering information generated by the process of paleocontact. Information is recorded in the form of various artificial structures: pyramids, megalithic structures, as well as in mythology, legends of various peoples, etc. The most important components of the coding system for this information are languages:

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of an enigmatic, megalithic-like, subterranean structure in Carmona (Seville, Spain)

Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2017
Abstract This paper reports on attempts to establish a preliminary chronological framework, based on optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, for an enigmatic megalithic-like structure located underground the town of Carmona, Seville, Spain. The structure had been initially categorized as a dolmen of the Chalcolithic period.

A first radiometric chronology for the Khatt Shebib megalithic structure in Jordan using the luminescence dating of rock surfaces

Quaternary Geochronology, 2019
Abstract This study presents the first instrumental radiometric date for one of the longest linear archaeological structures in southern Jordan ‘’Khatt Shebib’’. Quartz OSL profiles into the buried surfaces of two rocks from the structure near the modern village of Ayl enabled us to confirm that the surfaces had been exposed to light before burial ...
