LGM erosion and subsequent rapid loess deposition in Trzebnica (SW Poland)
Open AccessAgnieszka Szymak, Zdzisław Jary et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2026
The 7.7-m loess–paleosol sequence in Trzebnica records a short (ca. 3 ka) but intense phase of loess accumulation that preceded the onset of the Weichselian Late Glacial (MIS 2). The stratigraphy contains a well-defined erosional unconformity, marking a hiatus prior to the deposition of the youngest loess unit (L1LL1). The Trzebnica loess contains numerous signals of slope redeposition, as evidenced by lithological indicators. In this paper, we p…

Beyond the Nile
Open AccessGrzegorz Michalec, Mirosław Masojć et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Environments and Humans2026
In this paper, we present new research results from the Bayuda Desert (Sudan) based on 2021–2022 surveys and excavations at two localities (BP424 and BP1316), complemented by sedimentological and luminescence dating results. At BP 424, a small lithic assemblage comprising 28 artefacts was discovered within a ceiling unit of disorganised gravel and sand. Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dating results indicate that the layer is older than 5…
High-resolution radiocarbon and OSL cross-dating of Late Pleniglacial to Early Holocene aeolian succession and wildfire dynamics at the Łaskarzew site, eastern Poland
Open AccessPiotr Moska, Natalia Piotrowska et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2026
The chronology of Late Glacial and Early Holocene dune formation and wildfire activity at the Łaskarzew site, eastern Poland, was reconstructed using a combination of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating ( 14 C) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The stratigraphic profile records 13 aeolian-soil cycles, characterized by alternating phases of aeolian deposition, soil formation, and wildfire episodes, reflecting t…
Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe
Open AccessAndrzej Wiśniewski, P Bujalska et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2026Referencias: 39
This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka). Molecular dating of rodent remains provided a more exact date (32–22.5 ka cal bp ). Radiocarbon dating, however, allowed us to narrow th…

Sedimentological characteristics of four palaeolakes in the Tsakhiurtyn Hundi Lakeland (Gobi Desert, Mongolia)
Open AccessR Sikora, Mirosław Masojć et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2026Referencias: 59
We describe the sedimentological properties of four palaeolake basins located in the Tsakhiurtyn Hundi Lakeland, situated at the southern edge of the Arts Bogd massif in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. The palaeolakes – Talingaryn Shal, Chavgantsyn Shal, Zuun Khuree, and Luulityn Toirom – are part of the endorheic Shereegiin Gashuun Basin. In this study, we reconstruct the local palaeogeographic and palaeoclimatic conditions from the Pleistocene to th…

Archaeometallurgy in northern Oman—Diachronic copper production on a smelting site in Wadi al‐Salh
Open AccessKrzysztof Bukowski, Agnieszka Pieńkowska et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2025Referencias: 22
Archaeometallurgical studies at the Salh site in northern Oman have provided new data on copper technology in the Bronze Age and Islamic periods. Archaeological results indicate that it may have functioned seasonally. Slag analyses have shown possible technological changes over the centuries. Smelting was carried out under reducing conditions, using oxidized copper ores weathering zone deposits. The scale of copper production at Salh1 was relativ…

Late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic in Poland in the light of new numerical dating
Open AccessAndrzej Wiśniewski, Dariusz Bobak et al.ARTICLEGeographia Polonica2024
Although the first numerical dating of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites in Poland was applied at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, it has only been in the last two decades that a data increase has been recorded, making it possible to discuss both the development of human behaviour and cultural phenomena in time perspective. This paper aims to show the chronological diversity of sites dating from the beginning of the Weichse…

Kyrgyzstan can be represented, geomorphologically-speaking, by a transect between the Fergana lowlands and the Tien Shan highlands and is an outstanding area for the study of paleoclimatic conditions relating to climatic changes. These changes have been crucial for the behaviour of past cultures in this area, especially due to the presence of the Silk Road. A Czech environmental team, covering geology, geomorphology, pedology, paleoecology, archa…

Middle Holocene Glacier Activity in the Russian Altai
Open AccessR K Nepop, A R Agatova et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2022Referencias: 14
The available paleosol and paleowood data from the head of the Akkol trough valley, South Chuya range, indicates a climatically driven glacier dynamic in the Russian Altai. Radiocarbon dating of paleosols and paleotree fragments help determine the beginning of the Neoglacial in this high mountain region in the middle of the Holocene. New data limit the advance of the Sofiysky glacier at that time by the front of the Historical moraine. Less so th…
