Uncertainty quantification and reduction in the characterization of subsurface stratigraphy using limited geotechnical investigation data

Underground Space, 2020
Subsurface stratigraphy is critical to the design, construction, and subsequent performance of geotechnical structures. However, in practice it is impossible to identify the stratigraphy of a subsurface geological domain with absolute certainty, due to ...

Formal stratigraphy in the Pleistocene of Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992
The importance of the application of formal lithostratigraphical, biostratigraphical and chronostratigraphical procedures to the subdivision of Finnish Pleistocene sediment sequences and the need to define both regional and local stratotypes are ...

The Pacific Archaeology Radiocarbon Database

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the Pacific Archaeology Radiocarbon Database (PARD), which includes radiocarbon data from archaeological sites excavated in an area commonly described as Near and Remote Oceania. The collated 14C database is available using ArcGIS Online, an online geospatial system with searchable fields and locational navigation.

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...

SARchaeological Prospection: Synthetic Aperture Radar for the Reconstruction and Mapping of Temperate Floodplain Environments

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Temperate river floodplains present a significant challenge for archaeologists, as cultural and palaeoenvironmental remains are often difficult to locate but can be exceptionally well preserved, especially where groundwater levels are high. In these alluvial environments, the deposition of thick, fine‐grained sediments has potential to deeply ...

Structure of the Multiphase Chalcolithic Tell Chiselet–Grădiștea Fundeanca (Romania) From SH‐Wave Full‐Waveform Inversion, Borehole Geophysics and Coring

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emergence and development of settlement mounds, also called tells, is of major interest for the analysis of socio‐economic transformations occurring in the lower Danube plain during the East European Chalcolithic period. In this context, the multiphase chronology and structural layout of tells are highly relevant indicators, but small ...

Pre‐Excavation Identification and Dating of Iron Age Destruction Events

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To maximize extracted data while minimizing excavated areas, archaeologists increasingly use archaeological surveys, geophysical surveys and remote sensing to gain comprehensive regional pictures and decide if and where to excavate. The goal of this effort is to leave sufficient unexcavated areas for future generations and save time and ...

Deciphering Neolithic Habitation in Aegean Thrace Through Geophysical Prospection Surveys

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the relatively extensive archaeological research conducted in Greece focusing on the Neolithic period, Aegean Thrace remains one of the least studied regions. To address this gap, the MAPFARM (Mapping the Early Farmers in Thrace) project employed systematic archaeological surface survey combined with large‐scale geophysical prospection

The impact of Holocene deglaciation and glacial dynamics on the landscapes and geomorphology of Potter Peninsula, King George Island (Isla 25 Mayo), NW Antarctic Peninsula

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The timing and impact of deglaciation and Holocene readvances on the terrestrial continental margins of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) have been well-studied but are still debated.

Seismic stratigraphy and history of deep circulation and sediment drift development in Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea [PDF]

, 1989
Drilling results and seismic-reflection records at and across Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Sites 645 (western Baffin Bay), 646, and 647 (Labrador Sea) provide important constraints on the history of deep-water circulation and sedimentation in response to
