A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...

Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.

Global Cooling Driving the Increase in Erosion Rates Across the Himalaya Since the Quaternary

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Late Cenozoic global cooling is well documented, yet its impact on erosion rates in active mountain belts, particularly after the onset of Quaternary glaciation, remain contentious. This ambiguity partially stems from the potential methodological biases in erosion rate quantification, particularly in the Himalaya, where recent studies report ...

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 277-311, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic in Poland in the light of new numerical dating

Geographia Polonica
Although the first numerical dating of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites in Poland was applied at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, it has only been in the last two decades that a data increase has been recorded, making it possible ...

Coral reef and mangrove interplay during Holocene sea level changes, Belitung Island, Indonesia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
The fate of mangroves and coral reefs during the ongoing sea level rise depends not only on our ability to preserve the ecosystems but also on their geological preconditioning. Therefore, strategies to preserve mangrove ecosystems, while undoubtedly essential, wecan only be successful if accounting for their geological history. Abstract Coral reefs and

Luminescence dating of core sediments from the southern coastal Bohai Sea, China, and its implications for transgression history during the Late Quaternary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Several marine strata have developed along the southern coastal Bohai Sea since the Late Quaternary, preserving abundant records of sedimentary evolution. This region is ideal for studying the sedimentary history of a river–sea interaction area. However,

Single-Grain Quartz OSL Characteristics: Testing for Correlations within and between Sites in Asia, Europe and Africa

Methods and Protocols, 2019
We studied the characteristics of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal of single-grain quartz from three sites in China, Italy, and Libya, including the brightness, decay curve and dose response curve (DRC) shapes, recuperation, and ...

Luminescence dating approaches to reconstruct the formation of plaggic anthrosols [PDF]

SOIL
Plaggic anthrosols demonstrate the significant and widespread influence of agriculture on the landscape of northern Europe and testify to increased land-use intensity over the last millennium.

Beach-ridge formation as a possible indicator for an open Limfjord – North Sea connection

GEUS Bulletin
Raised beach ridges are prograded sequences of wave-built deposits that may provide valuable information about past relative sea-level changes, climate change and coastal evolution.
