Late-Pleistocene and Holocene palynology in southeastern Québec

Holocene-Late Pleistocene Climatic Ice Core

Three ice cores to bedrock from the Dunde ice cap on the north-central QinghaiTibetan Plateau ofChina provide a detailed record of Holocene and Wisconsin-Wurm late glacial stage (LGS) climate changes in the subtropics. The records reveal that LGS conditions were apparently colder, wetter, and dustier than Holocene conditions. The LGS part of the cores is characterized by more negative 8180 rati...

Across the Gap: Geochronological and Sedimentological Analyses from the Late Pleistocene-Holocene Sequence of Goda Buticha, Southeastern Ethiopia

Goda Buticha is a cave site near Dire Dawa in southeastern Ethiopia that contains an archaeological sequence sampling the late Pleistocene and Holocene of the region. The sedimentary sequence displays complex cultural, chronological and sedimentological histories that seem incongruent with one another. A first set of radiocarbon ages suggested a long sedimentological gap from the end of Marine ...

rodents and lagomorphs remains from late pleistocene and early holocene caves and rochshelter sites in the zagros region, iran

in this research the glir,s tooth remains from four caves and rockshelter sites in west and north west of iran have been reported. recent archaeological surveys and excavations by center for paleolithic research of national museum of iran and two other institutions, along other remains, have yielded rich assemblages of microvertebrate remains. the cave sites are yafteh, gar arjeneh and qalaloun...

Late Pleistocene and early Holocene rivers and wetlands in the Bonneville basin of western North America

Field investigations at Dugway Proving Ground in western Utah have produced new data on the chronology and human occupation of late Pleistocene and early Holocene lakes, rivers, and wetlands in the Lake Bonneville basin. We have classified paleo-river channels of these ages as “gravel channels” and “sand channels.” Gravel channels are straight to curved, digitate, and have abrupt bulbous ends. ...
