Scattering Evidence for an Ancient Subducted Slab Using the Unique Raypath P*PKP

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 18, 28 September 2024.
Abstract We observe high‐frequency scatterers consistent with the interpretation of a tabular high‐velocity structure under the Indian Ocean as an ancient subducted slab. We use a previously rarely used raypath, P waves scattered in the slab into PKP waves (P∗ ${\mathrm{P}}^{\ast }$PKP), from 12 earthquakes and explosions in five locations recorded on ...

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 840-859, August 2024.
Abstract Chemical and lead isotope analyses aided by metallographic examination of copper axes found at the Late Neolithic settlement of Kietrz in southwestern Poland provide new evidence for the origin of copper and metal trade routes in the region. Our results indicate that metal used for the axes could be sourced from copper mines in modern Slovakia,
