Testing Models of Cenozoic Exhumation in the Western Greater Caucasus [PDF]
AbstractThe Greater Caucasus form the northernmost deformation front of the Arabia‐Eurasia collision zone. Earlier thermochronometric studies on the crystalline core of the western Greater Caucasus highlighted an abrupt along‐strike increase in cooling ages to the west of Mt. Elbrus.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The Dolmen Kolikho, Western Caucasus: Isotopic Investigation of Funeral Practice and Human Mobility [PDF]
We investigated the dolmen known as Kolikho (Black Sea coast, Russia), discovered accidentally in 2008. It is a unique, undisturbed megalithic structure. The burial chamber contains disarticulated human remains from about 70 individuals. Radiocarbon dating shows that the dolmen was in use between roughly the 19th to 13th centuries BC.
