The Soil Erosion Paradox Re‐Examined: Alluviation and Land Use History in a Small British Lowland River Catchment in the Late Holocene

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern studies show that soil erosion results in a loss of ecosystem function, particularly fertility, and is a cause of declining agricultural yields. However, despite the well‐attested high rates of soil erosion across Roman and medieval Europe there appears to have been little or no soil‐associated decline in agricultural production—the ...

Chemostratigraphy in southern Ontario by pXRF spectrometry

open access: yes, 2017
For groundwater studies, the collection of sediment geochemistry is often beyond the scope, and budget of many programs, and is generally not included as part of routine data collection. Portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (pXRF) has proven to be a successful tool to characterize the chemostratigraphy of glacial derived materials collected from ...

A Return to Chalosse Cherts: An Integrated Approach Based on Field Survey, Petrography and Geochemical Analysis to Understand a Palaeolithic Tracer

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pyrenees have been considered a natural barrier for prehistoric populations. However, in recent years, Palaeolithic research has established connections between the two sides through the analysis of cherts. Among others, the presence of Chalosse cherts in sites on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees has proven the mobility of objects and ...
