Summary In 1884, one of the burials discovered at El Argar, the eponymous site of the El Argar culture, revealed the remains of a woman wearing an unusual silver bangle. This ornament appears to be the first evidence of a silver object produced by lost‐wax casting in Bronze Age Iberia and, to date, in Western Europe.

Extreme Potomac Floods at Washington D.C. During the Past 500 Years
Abstract Washington D.C. faces one of the highest 100‐year flood risks of any major city along the U.S. East Coast. In addition to storm‐surge inundation during hurricanes and nor'easters, water‐level observations for Washington are strongly skewed by major floods on the Potomac River.

Norian sponge and coral biostromes in the Antimonio Formation, northwestem Sonora, Mexico
A diverse marine invertebrate fauna has previously been documented from the Norian carbonate interval of the Antimonio terrane. However, little research has been aimed at understanding its paleoecology, fine scale stratigraphy, and depositional ...

The increasing aridity during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been proposed as a major factor affecting Neotropical species. The character and intensity of this change, however, remains the subject of ongoing debate.

Isothermal Thermoluminescence Dating of Coral Reef Calcite: Implications for Sea‐Level Change
Abstract Reconstructing past sea‐level changes is critical in Quaternary science. On remote oceanic reefs, aragonite‐to‐calcite alteration occurs during subaerial exposure, directly recording the timing of sea‐level fall. U–Th dating of coral calcite is challenging due to open‐system issues.

Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

The “regime shift extinctions” hypothesis and mass extinction of waterbirds in Hawaiʻi
Abstract Studies of biodiversity loss commonly imply that species extinctions occurred as a direct result of initial human arrival and thus are attributable to stewardship failures of Indigenous Peoples. However, recent studies have suggested this assumption is not supported by the evidence, prompting a global reevaluation of existing assumptions.
