Fluvial dynamics in a deltaic environment under Little Ice Age intense climatic forcing (Bras de Fer, Rhône delta, France)
This study reconstructs the fluvial dynamics of the Bras de Fer distributary in the Rhône Delta (France) during the Little Ice Age (LIA) in response to short-term climatic forcing. A multiproxy approach combining historical cartography, sedimentology, geochemistry, magnetic susceptibility, and hydrological archives reveals accelerated meander migration and extensive overbank accretion between the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries CE…
How long were alignments of heating stones hearths used during the Early Iron Age in Western Europe? Evidence of a long chronology by archaeomagnetic dating at Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume (Southern …
Early Sasanian landscape modification
The Sasanian period (224–651 CE) marked an era of large‐scale urban projects in southwest Asia, including Iran's semi‐arid highlands, with particular efforts to manipulate water bodies. This study presents a recent interdisciplinary investigation of a spring‐fed pond at the entrance of the Palace of Ardashir (Firuzabad plain, southwest Iran), part of a recently registered World Heritage site. Historical accounts suggest that the entire water syst…
First evidence of a lake at Ancient Phaistos (Messara Plain, South-Central Crete, Greece)
Phaistos was one of the most important Minoan palaces in Crete and previous studies have addressed its relationship with the paleo-seashore position during historical times. Here, we reconstruct the environmental evolution of Phaistos from Early Minoan to Roman times. Study of two stratigraphic sections and nine boreholes drilled in the westernmost part of the Messara Plain has revealed the stratigraphy of the Mid- to Late-Holocene sediments. Lab…
Landscape evolution and agro-sylvo-pastoral activities on the Gorgan Plain (NE Iran) in the last 6000 years
The Gorgan Plain (NE Iran) is characterized by fertile soils formed on a loess plateau and is at present primarily exploited for intensive agriculture. However, the timing and intensity of the human impact on the landscape in the past are still unclear. A sediment core, taken from the centre of the eastern Gorgan Plain in the Kongor Lake covering the major part of the Holocene from 6.1 to 0.8 ka (all ages are calibrated before present), has been …
The Holocene fluvial history of the Tremithos river (south central Cyprus) and its linkage to archaeological records

The impact of rapid early- to mid-Holocene palaeoenvironmental changes on Neolithic settlement at Nea Nikomideia, Thessaloniki Plain, Greece
Geoarchaeology of Ancient Aulis (Boeotia, Central Greece)
Early Pleistocene Presence of Acheulian Hominins in South India
Dates from a site in southeast India imply an early migration of Homo through Eurasia about 1.1 to 1.5 million years ago.
Archaeology and climate
New archaeological and geomorphologic data collected adjacent to the Aral Sea show lake‐level stands during the late Pleistocene and the past 5000 years. On the northern and southern shores, archaeological sites from the Palaeolithic through the Late Middle Ages contain evidence of various cultures and economies. Changes in settlement activity during the mid‐Holocene are related to several major lake‐level oscillations. Some of them, especially t…
