Early Levallois core technology between Marine Isotope Stage 12 and 9 in Western Europe

Constraints on Levallois Core Technology: A Mathematical Model

Recent volumetric definitions of Levallois core technology are amenable to mathematical modelling. We present a simple geometric model that permits controlled manipulation of a few of the key parameters defining Levallois core morphology. The models indicate that Levallois cores are relatively efficient at minimizing raw material waste while at the same time maximizing productivity in terms of ...

Hydrographic conditions along the western Iberian margin during marine isotope stage 2

[1] The surface water hydrography along the western Iberian margin, as part of the North Atlantic’s eastern boundary upwelling system, consists of a complex, seasonally variable system of equatorward and poleward surface and subsurface currents and seasonal upwelling. Not much information exists to ascertain if the modern current and productivity patterns subsisted under glacial climate conditi...

Seminar Paper 97-12 Commercial Links between Western Europe and East Asia: Retrospect and Prospect

Commercial Links between Western Europe and East Asia: Retrospect and Prospect by Kym Anderson and Joseph F. Francois East Asia has rapidly become the third centre of gravity for global economic activity. North America is relatively well integrated with East Asia, but Europe is not. This paper explores the extent to which economic growth and trade policy developments over the next decade or so ...

Comparison between Holocene and Marine Isotope Stage-11 sea-level histories

Millennial-Scale Interaction between Ice Sheets and Ocean Circulation during Marine Isotope Stage 100

Waxing/waning of the ice sheets and the associated change in thermohaline circulation have played an important role in global climate change since major continental ice sheets appeared in the northern hemisphere about 2.75 million years ago. In the earliest glacial stages, however, establishment of the linkage between ice sheet development and ocean circulation remains largely unclear. Here, we...
