Commercialising the Palaeoenvironment
2001This paper attempts to assess the relationship between environmental archaeology and developer funded research in Britain. The typical developer funded cycle is outlined and the ways in which environmental archaeology has been integrated into the various stages is discussed.

Palaeoenvironments and hominoid evolution
Zeitschrift für Morphologie und Anthropologie, 2002One of the key features that separates humans and their closest relatives (extinct species of the genus Homo and Praeanthropus and the australopithecines Australopithecus and Paranthropus) on the one hand, from the other hominoids, on the other, is their obligate bipedal locomotion when on the ground.

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 1981
Two geographical types of pluvials are therefore to be distinguished: those of middle latitudes, which coincide with glaciations (North Africa, western United States, Iran, etc.) and those of low latitudes which, on the contrary, fall within the interglacial periods (Tricart, 1956, 167, translation).

Geological Context and Palaeoenvironments
1997Abstract Geological studies contribute to the understanding of the archaeological record by providing information on such topics as the sequence and chronology; the palaeogeographic settings of sites, both regional and local; and site-formation processes (i.e.

δ13C as an Indicator of Palaeoenvironments
2001Reconstruction of ancient climates (palaeoclimates) is a major goal in areas of the Earth sciences seeking insight into the history of the Earth. On the one hand a petroleum organic geochemist is able to use such information to provide valuable insight on palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental conditions likely to generate rocks offering good sources ...

Palaeoenvironments and the origin of hominid bipedalism
Historical Biology, 2017It has long been accepted that hominids emerged during the Pliocene in a savannah environment in which a terrestrial quadruped gradually developed bipedal adaptations.

Palaeoenvironments of the Palaeogene in the Sirt Basin
EAGE Conference on Geology and Petroleum Geology of the Mediterranean and Circum-Mediterranean Basins, 2000Ostrucod faunas are widely used for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, because of their abundant and high diversity throughout geological history, and their occurrence in a wide environmental spectrum such as fresh, brackish water, marine and even rarely terrestrial habites.

Late-tertiary and quaternary palaeoenvironments
1988Climatic variations, in both time and space, are the principal source of variability in the environment of plants. Climatic changes therefore provide a context for viewing and interpreting many of the vegetational variations recorded by paleoecological data. Climate variations occur at all temporal and spatial scales.
