چکیده
The PALAEOSILKROAD project has been conducting field surveys in Kazakhstan to explore the regional Palaeolithic record by targeting primarily caves and rockshelters. However, survey also discovered numerous sites that were occupied during Holocene. In this paper, we present our preliminary findings from Nazugum rockshelter, a new archaeological site located south-eastern (Almaty region). stratigraphic sequence demonstrates transition fluvial channel deposits without artifacts aeolian loess with lithics, charcoal remnants, fragments of animal bones. lithics recovered sediment wall are dominated bladelet technology, characteristic for Holocene assemblages. Radiocarbon date adjacent samples yielded calibrated age (2-sigma) 2470–2288 cal BC attributing human occupation transitional period late Eneolithic early Bronze Age. Our study provides data use rockshelters lays groundwork future salvage work rockshelter due active erosion record.

متن کاملTree-ring based drought reconstruction for the central Tien Shan area in northwest China
[1] A robust ring-width chronology developed from two sites of Picea schrenkiana in the central Tien Shan area of northwest China was employed to study regional drought variability. Our analyses demonstrate both temperature and precipitation have significant effects on tree growth, thus both should be considered for climate reconstruction. Regional drought history (1675–2002 A.D.) was therefore...

Late Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the northwestern Tien Shan: New age estimates for the initiation of mountain building
The Tien Shan are the quintessential intracontinental range, situated more than 1000 km north of the suture between India and Asia. Their initiation and growth in the Cenozoic, however, remain poorly understood. In this study we present stratigraphic, detrital fission-track, and magnetostratigraphic results that provide a basis for reconstructing the Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Kyrgyz Ra...
