Mesolithic populations from coastal areas are known as hunter-gatherer-fishers. This way of life is visible in the landscape owing to the presence of large accumulations of shells named shell middens. These anthropogenic refuse heaps are composed of high

The palaeoenvironment of the 'Antrea Net Find' [PDF]
The 'Antrea Net Find', found in 1914 in Korpilahti in the Karelian Isthmus , is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in Finland. For a long time, it was the oldest dated net find in Europe. New sediment samples were taken from the assumed

Land Snail Extinctions at Kalaeloa, O`ahu
In this article we show that the interpretation of Polynesian influence drawn from the stratigraphic record of sub-fossil land snails at Kalaeloa (O'ahu, Hawai'i) is based on a unique stratigraphic sequence at a single sinkhole.

Peuplements paléolithiques et paléoenvironnements pléistocènes dans le Massif central
During the last decades, the deployment of preventive operations related to ancient Prehistory in Auvergne permitted the exposure of many sites, whose contribution appears to be complementary to that of great historic locations.

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...
