Adaptions in subsistence strategy to environment changes across the Younger Dryas - Early Holocene boundary at Körtiktepe, Southeastern Turkey

چکیده

The site of Körtiktepe in southeastern Turkey is one few sites the Upper Mesopotamia basin that attests continuous, permanent occupation across boundary from end colder, drier Younger Dryas (YD) into comparatively wetter and warmer Early Holocene (EH). This allows for study degree environmental change experienced on a local level over this as well adaptations occupants undertook response to these changes. mammal assemblage remains relatively stable YD – EH transition with main contributors diet being mouflon ( Ovis orientalis) red deer Cervus elaphus) approximately same quantities, although contribution aurochs Bos primigenius) increases EH. most significant changes can be seen shift avifauna remains, sharp increase waterbirds during It proposed shifts reflect environment an woodland cover expansion waterways, which generally consistent previously published archaeobotanical studies. In terms species exploited, mortality profiles size distribution mammals, great deal continuity observed. suggests particular period impact beginning was not overly dramatic, allowing cultural established subsistence strategies.

Origin and provenance of spherules and magnetic grains at the Younger Dryas boundary.

One or more bolide impacts are hypothesized to have triggered the Younger Dryas cooling at ∼12.9 ka. In support of this hypothesis, varying peak abundances of magnetic grains with iridium and magnetic microspherules have been reported at the Younger Dryas boundary (YDB). We show that bulk sediment and/or magnetic grains/microspherules collected from the YDB sites in Arizona, Michigan, New Mexic...

Iceberg discharge to the Chukchi shelf during the Younger Dryas

a r t i c l e i n f o The extent of glaciation in northwestern Alaska, the source of sediment supply to the Chukchi shelf and slope, and the movement of sea ice and icebergs across the shelf during the last glacial maximum (LGM) remain poorly constrained. Here we present geophysical and geological data from the outer Chukchi margin that reveal a regionally extensive, heavily ice-scoured surface...

Reply to van Hoesel et al.: Impact-related Younger Dryas boundary nanodiamonds from The Netherlands.

Van Hoesel et al. (1) refer to nanodiamonds at the top of the Usselo horizon at Aalsterhut, The Netherlands, having an average age of 10.845 ± 0.015 C ka (12.70 ± 0.06 cal ka) (1); they found no nanodiamonds outside hat layer. Earlier, nanodiamonds were reported at the top of theUsselo in Lommel, Belgium,∼30 km southwest of Aalsterhut, acknowledged as the Younger Dryas boundary layer (YDB) [Tia...
