Magnetic fingerprint of southern Portuguese speleothems and implications for paleo- and environmental magnetism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Environmental magnetism of speleothems is still in its early stage of development. Here we report on our investigation of the environmental and paleomagnetic information that has been recorded in speleothems, and what are the factors that control its ...

Speleothems as Magnetic Archives: Paleosecular Variation and a Relative Paleointensity Record From a Portuguese Speleothem

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018
We provide a high‐resolution and complete paleomagnetic study from a middle‐Holocene (~4,100–3,300 years Before Common Era, BCE) dome‐shaped speleothem (SPAIV) from Algarve, Portugal.

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Extreme flood events in the western Mediterranean: integrating numerical MODelling and flood records in KARST systems (MODKARST project)

open access: yesGeogaceta
Changes in rainfall patterns are a direct consequence of the current climate change. Climate projections indicate an intensification of extreme rainfall events, which will directly affect social, ecological, and economic systems.

Palynological evidence of Middle Pleistocene palaeoenvironmental changes from the ‘Buca dell’Onice’ flowstone (Alpi Apuane, Central Italy)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, 2022
Buca dell’Onice di Monte Girello is a small cave located in the Alpi Apuane (central Italy). It preserves an exceptionally thick flowstone deposited intermittently during the Middle Pleistocene.

Mapping Palaeolithic Imprints: Spatial Analysis of Hand Stencils in El Castillo Cave (Spain) Through Geomatic Techniques

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present the application of a new quantitative approach to space study in Palaeolithic cave art. Using GIS, we analysed the distribution and position of hand stencils in El Castillo cave to track the gestures and behaviours of Palaeolithic societies.

ISOLUTION 1.0: an ISOtope evoLUTION model describing the stable oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotope values of speleothems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 2019
Stable oxygen and carbon isotope ratios (δ13C and δ18O) are the most applied climate and environmental proxies in speleothems allowing to infer past changes in cave drip water δ13C and δ18O related to climate and environmental variations from above the ...

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

open access: yesBoreas, 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
