Reassessing the Middle Palaeolithic lithic technology of Grotta Romanelli (Lecce, southern Italy)
Quaternary stratigraphical information from Central and Eastern Europe (Inqua-Seqs, 2021 Meeting, Poland) as a prerequisite to understand developments of our ecosystem
Quaternary Stratigraphy – Sediments, Palaeoenvironments, Fauna and Human Migrations across Central Europe
The Quaternary of Europe and Adjacent Areas
Quaternary stratigraphy and karst & cave sediments
Shaping Mediterranean landscapes
Charcoal analysis, applied in sediment facies analysis of the Pecora river palaeochannel (Tyrrhenian southern Tuscany, Italy), detected the occurrence of past fire events in two different fluvial landforms at 800–450 BC and again at AD 650–1300. Taking place in a central Mediterranean district adequately studied through palaeoenvironmental and archaeological research, the investigation determined land changes, time phases and socio-economic drivi…
Grotta Reali, the first multilayered mousterian evidences in the Upper Volturno Basin (Rocchetta a Volturno, Molise, Italy)
The Transition from Hunting–Gathering to Food Production in the Gamo Highlands of Southern Ethiopia
Over three field seasons between 2007 and 2012, we excavated three caves—Mota, Tuwatey, and Gulo—situated at an average elevation of 2,084 m above sea level in the cool and moist Boreda Gamo Highlands of southwestern Ethiopia. Anthropogenic deposits in these caves date from the Middle to Late Holocene (ca. 6000 to 100 BP) and provide excellent preservation of material culture, fauna, flora, and human skeletal remains from which to investigate cha…
The Quaternary of continental Europe
Sedimentology, faunal content and pollen record of Middle Pleistocene palustrine and lagoonal sediments from the Peri-Adriatic basin, Abruzzi, eastern central Italy
A 25 m-thick outcrop section exposed at Torre Mucchia, on the sea-cliff north of Ortona, eastern central Italy, comprises a rare Middle Pleistocene succession of shallow-water and paralic sediments along the western Adriatic Sea. An integrated study of the section, including facies and microfacies analyses, and characterization of paleobiological associations (mollusks, fishes, ostracods, foraminifers and pollen), enable a detailed reconstruction…
Major controls on architecture, sequence stratigraphy and paleosols of middle Pleistocene continental sediments ("Qc Unit"), eastern central Italy
Middle Pleistocene continental sediments in central Italy ("Qc Unit") record the oldest fluvial accumulation along the uplifting margin of the Peri-Adriatic basin. The architecture of the sediment body can be divided into two unconformity-bounded, fining-upward cycles interpreted as genetically related depositional sequences. These sequences highlight the systematic adjustment of the fluvial system to changes in the ratio between accommodation sp…

A New Late Paleolithic “Offering Venus” from Frasassi Gorge (Central Italy)
We present a new find coming from a cave in the Frasassi Gorge, (Marche, central Italy). The Venus was discovered by one of us (SP) at the base of a local man‐made scarp at the entrance of the cave. Although it was not found in situ, the simple stratigraphical setting of the nearby sequence and the fact that in the past there was an archaeological layer, later destroyed, allow us to establish that layer 3 is the best candidate for the provenience…
Un nouveau type de « vénus offrant » du paléolithique récent de la gorge de Frasassi (Italie Centrale)
Nous présentons une nouvelle trouvaille provenant d’une grotte dans la gorge Frasassi (les Marches, Italie Centrale). La vénus fut découverte par l’un d’entre nous (SP) à la base d’un talus à l’entrée de la grotte. Bien qu’elle n’ait pas été trouvée in situ, le cadre stratigraphique de la séquence toute proche et le fait qu’il y avait là auparavant un niveau archéologique, détruit par la suite, nous permettent d’établir la couche 3 comme le meill…
Geomorphological map and land units at 1
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. Small scale geomorphological maps and land unit classification of large areas are not common due to the high degree of generalisation required to represent landforms originally mapped at larger scale (i.e. 1:10,000). Here we present a 1:200,000 scale geomorphological map of the Siena Province (Tuscany, Italy) where the landforms related to different processes have been synthesise…
