A reconstruction of Quaternary pluvial environments and human occupations using stratigraphy and geochronology of fossil‐spring tufas, Kharga Oasis, Egypt
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 407-439 - 2004
Jennifer Smith, Robert Giegengack, Henry P. Schwarcz, Mary M. A. McDonald, Maxine R. Kleindienst, Alicia L. Hawkins, Charles S. Churcher
AbstractWe carried out a geologic survey and a preliminary archaeological survey of four fossil‐spring tufa localities in Kharga Oasis, Egypt, to constrain the timing of pluvial episodes in the Western Desert, and to document prehistoric occupation contemporaneous with times of increased rainfall. Uranium‐series dating of the tufas confirms that at least five episo...... hiện toàn bộ
Lithic raw material usages during the Middle Stone Age at Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 17 Số 6 - Trang 601-624 - 2002
Alicia L. Hawkins, Maxine R. Kleindienst
AbstractDakhleh Oasis, the largest of the Egyptian Western Desert, presents an opportunity for diachronic study of lithic raw material preferences during the Middle Stone Age (MSA) of the Eastern Sahara. Archaeological aggregates and raw material sources are exposed and easily mapped. Diverse and abundant lithic raw materials derive from sandstone, shale, and limes...... hiện toàn bộ
Quaternary climate, environment, and the human occupation of the south‐central Andes
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 199-228 - 1990
Thomas F. Lynch
AbstractThis paper reviews the paleoenvironmental context for Paleoindian and Early Archaic settlement of the south‐central Andes. I attempt to reconcile proposals for late‐glacial and early Holocene environmental changes that have originated in several Quaternary sciences. Most useful are the records of changing lake levels, geomorphological indicators of glacial ...... hiện toàn bộ
Satellite imagery as a resource in the prospection for archaeological sites in central Syria
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 21 Số 7 - Trang 735-750 - 2006
Keith Wilkinson, Anthony Beck, Graham Philip
AbstractBoth IKONOS and CORONA satellite imagery are currently being employed by the research project Settlement and Landscape Development in the Homs Region, Syria, as the primary deskbased means of detecting non‐tell archaeological sites, a category that has generally been underrepresented in traditional tell‐centered surveys in the Middle East. Satellite imagery...... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence for an abrupt climatic change at 8700 14C yr B.P. in rockshelters and caves of Gebel Qara (Dhofar‐Oman): Palaeoenvironmental implications
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 20 Số 6 - Trang 559-579 - 2005
Mauro Cremaschi, Fabio Negrino
AbstractGeoarchaeological research on the sedimentary fill of rockshelters and caves in the Gebel Qara (Dhofar, Southern Oman) has revealed the onset of heavy rains at 8700 yr B.P. These rains, produced by strengthening of the Southwest monsoon, abruptly altered the dry environment dominant in the area since the Pleistocene‐Holocene transition. Comparison of cave f...... hiện toàn bộ
Archaeological stone of Easter Island
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 127-139 - 1993
P. E. Baker
AbstractWith the scarcity of other resources, stone assumed great importance in the culture of Easter Island. The volcanic rocks display a compositional continuum paralleled by changes in physical characteristics. The most abundant rock type, porphyritic hawaiite, was the least useful as it is poorly jointed and difficult to work. Mugearites and benmoreites usually...... hiện toàn bộ
Limestone Provenance in Roman Lime‐Volcanic Ash Mortars from the Villa dei Quintili, Rome
Geoarchaeology - An International Journal - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 79-99 - 2015
Giusj Valentina Fichera, Cristina Maria Belfiore, Mauro Francesco La Russa, Silvestro Antonio Ruffolo, Donatella Barca, Riccardo Frontoni, Giuliana Galli, Antonino Pezzino
Roman mortars were collected from the Villa dei Quintili in Rome, an archaeological site consisting of numerous edifices from nine construction phases dating from the 2nd century A.D. to modern times. A multianalytical approach was used on 34 mortar samples to infer the evolution of production techniques over time and to identify the source area of calcareous raw materials used in the prep...... hiện toàn bộ
