Evaporitic Chert Provenance: Evaluating Petrographic and Geochemical Workflows for Source Discrimination

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chert tools were widely used in prehistory by human societies due to their knapping suitability and availability, but their relatively uniform composition, especially in evaporitic cherts, complicates sourcing, requiring specialised analytical methods.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

The Early Upper Palaeolithic open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg, Germany, in the context of the northern central European Aurignacian

Boreas, EarlyView.
Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

Environmental dynamics and timing of the late Eemian interglacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial at Lichtenberg, Germany: implications for the Oerel and Glinde interstadials

Boreas, EarlyView.
The terrestrial sediment archives of northern Germany provide important insights into Late Pleistocene climate variability, but continuous and well‐dated records remain rare. In particular, the age and stratigraphic position of the Oerel and Glinde interstadials within the Early Weichselian to pleniglacial transition remain poorly constrained.

Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.
