Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Surface-Related Multiples Elimination for Waterborne GPR Data

Remote Sensing, 2023
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-respected, effective, and efficient geophysical technique. However, for underwater engineering detection and underwater archaeology, the measured B-scan profiles typically contain surface-related multiple waves ...

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

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Dispersal, source and glass chemistry of a third tephra unit within Iceland's Settlement Layer

Boreas, EarlyView.
Tephra layers may be studied to understand the dynamics and sequence of past explosive volcanism. In Iceland, the distinctive Settlement Layer (AD ~877) underlies almost all archaeological evidence for the Norse Settlement and is preserved in soils across Iceland and as cryptotephra overseas.

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...
