Exploring climate and environmental changes in Sardinia around the end of the Nuragic Era

open access: yes, 2021
In Sardinia, precisely dated Holocene climate and environmental records are derisory. Indeed, availability of lacustrine sediments is scarce, because this Island has one natural relatively large lake only. Accordingly, the most comprehensive Holocene lake-based climate reconstruction, spanning the last 8000 years, has been published only recently ...
