Hydroclimate variability in the eastern Kimberley, Australia, since the last deglaciation

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The climate of the Kimberley region in tropical northwest Australia is dominated by the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon (IASM). Understanding of the palaeoclimate since the Last Glacial Maximum in this region, which is well placed to record IASM variations, is currently based on few records.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

Experimental assessment of plan‐view and profile‐view gross‐edge curvature on stone flake slicing efficiency

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 36-48, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Separating two or more aspects of an object via cutting was likely an important factor in the origin and evolution of flaked stone technology. In recent years experiments have demonstrated that several stone tool attributes can influence different kinds of cutting behaviour: slicing, cleaving, scraping, sawing, drilling, piercing and abrading.

The lowermost last‐glacial equilibrium line altitude in the Taiwanese Central Mountain Range and its implications for the palaeoclimate and the tropospheric moisture transport in East Asia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The high mountains of Taiwan provide a unique location for Quaternary palaeoclimate research in East Asia and the north‐western Pacific. This study applies geomorphological field mapping and rock surface exposure dating with paired (10Be/26Al) in situ‐produced terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides to identify and date glacial landforms and boulders ...

Long‐term hydrologic connectivity on the Australian dryland margins: Evidence from the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area over the last 60 ky

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The semi‐arid Australian continental inland is increasingly subject to climatic extremes such as drought and flooding. Combined with the exceptionally low topographic relief characteristic of this region, hydroclimatic extremes can have an enormous impact on the land surface.

At the far end of everything: A likely Ahrensburgian presence in the far north of the Isle of Skye, Scotland

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Late Upper Paleolithic (LUP) site containing Ahrensburgian‐type stone tools has been discovered at South Cuidrach, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Together with a group of intertidal stone circular alignments also recently discovered on the island, this new evidence for the occupation of northern Scotland also represents the most northerly LUP site ...
