Coherent rainfall response to middle- and late-Holocene climate variability across the mid-latitude South Pacific
Intercorrelated terrestrial and marine records from New Zealand, Chile and Argentina provide the first evidence of a coherent pan-Pacific response to the growing influence that El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and multicentury variations in the interaction between ENSO and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) exerted on rainfall in the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes during the middle and late Holocene. Rainfall is also strongly influenced by moi…
Enso/SAM interactions during the middle and late Holocene
A new chronology of large magnitude rainfall events derived from the continuous high-resolution Lake Tutira storm sediment record covers the last 6800 years and provides the first insight into changes in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections to the higher southern latitudes to be obtained from New Zealand. Synthesis with independent paleoclimate records from the tropical Pacific and Antarctica also reveals a millennial-scale waxing …
Sediment I
Geomorphologists use information about sediment particles to characterize their physical and dynamic properties, and as a method for ascertaining their provenance. This article enumerates the indices used to describe the physical properties of individual particles and the most common methods that geomorphologists use to analyze and characterize assemblages of particles. The former include physical size, sedimentation diameter, and sieve diameter …
Sediment II
This article is concerned with the changes that erosion and transport have on the properties of sediment as it moves through a dispersal system, which point to the processes responsible for its dispersal, and the ways in which the characteristics imparted to sediment in the source area by parent lithology and climate can be used to indicate its spatial origin (provenance). Examples are provided of the changes to particle size and shape that have …

The Source Provenance of Bronze Age and Roman pottery from Cyprus
Archaeological interpretations of ancient economies have been strengthened by chemical analyses of ceramics, which provide the clearest evidence for economic activity, and comprise both the objects of exchange and its means. Pottery is often manufactured from local materials, but its compositional diversity typically prevents significant patterns of resource utilization from being identified. Centrally located and positioned on traditional shippi…
A Preliminary Petrographic Analysis of Cypriot White Slip Ii Ware
Samples of Late Bronze Age White Slip II ware from Cyprus were analysed using optical and scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with energy and wavelength dispersive analyse The slip has a novel granular nature and the coarser aggregates are impressed into the outer surface of the body, indicating that it was applied to a moist surface before the vessels were fired. It has a consistent mineral assemblage (Mg‐chlorite + illite‐smectite + sph…

Neutron Activation Analysis of Obsidian From Kalavasos- Tenta
The small quantity of obsidian used by the Aceramic Neolithic occupants of Cyprus was imported, there being no source on the island.The chemical composition, determined by neutron activation analysis, of six samples of obsidian from Kalavasos-Tenta indicates that they were derived from the central Anatolian, Göllü Dağ (çiftlik: Group 2b) source. On the basis of chemical composition, obsidian from five Cypriot Aceramnic Neolithic sites has the sam…

The Alluvial Terraces and Fills of the Lower Vasilikos Valley, in the Vicinity of Kalavasos, Cyprus
Detailed investigation of the alluvial deposits in the Lower Vasilikos Valley, in the vicinity of Kalavasos, Cyprus, has revealed a clearly defined sequence of terraces and fills. Four alluvial terraces are present in the Lower Vasilikos Valley, at heights of approximately 10 m, 25 m, 55 m and 80 m above the bedrock floor of the valley. This sequence of terraces corresponds with the alluvial terraces of the Mesaoria Plain and the Kyrenia Range wh…
