Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.

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

An overview of Mass Accumulation Rates in key Polish loess–palaeosol sequences derived from luminescence chronologies

Boreas, EarlyView.
Loess–palaeosol sequences (LPS) represent one of the most important continental archives of late Quaternary environmental change in Europe. Establishing reliable chronologies is essential for reconstructing dust dynamics and for correlating regional loess stratigraphies. In this study, we present the first systematically derived mass accumulation rate (

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 ...
