Vegetation and environmental dynamics in the central part of the Kola Peninsula during the past 13.3 ka as reflected by ancient plant DNA on sediments from Lake Imandra

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The first high‐resolution reconstruction of the vegetation and environmental changes during the last ca 13 300 cal a BP in the central part of the Kola Peninsula (NW Russia) was reconstructed based on sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding on sediment core Co1410 from Lake Imandra.

Regional onset of Holocene drying period estimated from sand deposit analyses in Kharga Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Desertification in North Africa has progressed rapidly over the past 6000 years. The occupation of Egypt by the Achaemenid Persians and Romans occurred even in hyperarid climates. Understanding the process of environmental changes on a regional scale may improve knowledge of how people developed technologies and adapted to the natural ...

Insights into the Middle Pleistocene fauna of South Africa: Zooarchaeology, stable isotopes and dating of Pniel 6

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

An aminostratigraphy of the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The northern Upper Rhine Graben (Germany) contains a complex, quasi‐continuous Quaternary record, but constraining its chronology is challenging. This study presents the first application of amino acid geochronology for this region using Bithynia opercula to establish a relative dating framework.

Raman Analysis of Roman Mosaics From the Upper Guadalquivir Valley (Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
This work is focused on the Raman analysis of two Roman mosaics from Jaén (Spain) using portable and benchtop equipment, complemented by elemental analysis using EDXRF and petrographic analysis. The results obtained have provided a detailed characterisation of the tesserae.
