New exposures of Lava Creek ash more closely constrain the age of the Sacagawea Ridge glaciation, Wind River Mountains, Wyoming (USA)
Geochemical and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar age analyses of a new exposure of a previously destroyed volcanic ash locality within the Airport Terrace above the Middle Popo Agie River in Lander, Wyoming, allows us to re-establish it as Lava Creek A from the last major eruption of the Yellowstone caldera, with a weighted mean age of 628.2 ± 4.1 ka. Confirmation of the ash as Lava Creek more firmly establishes correlation of the terrace with the WR-7 terraces alon…
Soils at archaeological monuments of the Bronze Age – A key to the Holocene landscape dynamics in the broadleaf forest area of the Russian Plain
Predicting Water Cycle Characteristics from Percolation Theory and Observational Data
The fate of water and water-soluble toxic wastes in the subsurface is of high importance for many scientific and practical applications. Although solute transport is proportional to water flow rates, theoretical and experimental studies show that heavy-tailed (power-law) solute transport distribution can cause chemical transport retardation, prolonging clean-up time-scales greatly. However, no consensus exists as to the physical basis of such tra…
Reconstruction and actual trends of landslide activities in Bruust-Haltiwald, Horw, canton of Lucerne, Switzerland
A spatiotemporal reconstruction of slope movements on the edge of Lake Lucerne near the municipality of Horw, canton of Lucerne, is presented. The reconstruction was realized by analyzing growth reactions of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and fir (Abies alba Mill.) trees growing on this slope. Before dendrochronological sampling, a detailed geomorphological mapping of the landslide was conducted with the aim to determine the spatial extent of the sli…
Piecing together the Lateglacial advance phases of the Reussgletscher (central Swiss Alps)
Exposure dating has substantially improved our knowledge about glacier advances during the Younger Dryas (YD) and the early Holocene. The glacier development after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the timing of morphologically evidenced, earlier Lateglacial re-advances is, however, still widely unknown. In this study we used 10Be surface exposure and radiocarbon dating to address these phases and corresponding landforms in the catchment of the …
Palaeoclimate, glacier and treeline reconstruction based on geomorphic evidences in the Mongun-Taiga massif (south-eastern Russian Altai) during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene
Soils of Mountainous Landscapes
Unlike many other soils, mountain soils often are subjected to strong hillslope processes that distinctly affect their properties. At unstable sites, erosion and other mass movements lead to a continuous rejuvenation of the soil. Under such circumstances weathering rates are kept at high levels, as new parent material is intermittently exposed, leading to the development of a shallow soil cover. Mountain soils are highly dynamic systems that may …
Holocene vegetation history and soil development reflected in the lake sediments of the Karkonosze Mountains (Poland)
A 11-m-long lake sediment core of a mountain lake situated at 1225 m a.s.l. in the Karkonosze Mountains (Poland) provided a unique, multi-proxy archive to reconstruct natural and human-induced environmental changes over the entire Holocene period. Pollen analyses allowed for the local and regional reconstruction of vegetation history. The chemical composition of the core and the determination of amorphous Fe and Al phases enabled to trace back so…
Multi-methodological reconstruction of the lake level at Morgarten in the context of the history of the Swiss Confederation
In AD 1315, the Habsburgs fought against the Swiss Confederation at Morgarten. Since historical records are very limited, the battle has been the subject of very controversial discussions. Its location and outcome seem likely to have been influenced by the landscape and the size of the Aegeri lake, but only sparse and contradictory information are available. Numerical, semi-quantitative and relative dating techniques were applied to reconstruct t…

Charcoal fragments of Alpine soils as an indicator of landscape evolution during the Holocene in Val di Sole (Trentino, Italy)
Subalpine and Alpine soils in Val di Sole (Trentino, Italy) have been investigated in order to reconstruct vegetation changes and human impact during the Holocene period. Archaeological findings have demonstrated that Alpine sites have been populated since pre-historical times. Humans have had a great impact on the natural landscape evolution. One of the most-used tools has been fire. The use of fire has enabled the landscape to be cleared to pro…
Preface From the Editors
The 5th International Radiocarbon and Archaeology Symposium was held at the ETH Zurich between March 26th and 28th, 2008. A total of 164 participants (including 47 students) from 28 countries attended the symposium. We had presentations of 13 invited speakers who opened 6 thematic/topic sessions that included 31 oral presentations and 49 posters
Combination of Numerical Dating Techniques Using 10 Be in Rock Boulders and 14 C of Resilient Soil Organic Matter for Reconstructing the Chronology of Glacial and Periglacial Processes in a High Alpin…
Glacier fluctuations and paleoclimatic oscillations during the Late Quaternary in Val di Rabbi (Trentino, northern Italy) were reconstructed using a combination of absolute dating techniques ( 14 C and 10 Be) and soil chemical characterization. Extraction and dating of the stable fraction of soil organic matter (SOM) gave valuable information about the minimum age of soil formation and contributed to the deciphering of geomorphic surface dynamics…
Modellierung von Bodentypen und Bodeneigenschaften im Oberengadin (Schweiz) mit Hilfe eines Geographischen Informationssystems (GIS)
Detaillierte Bodenkarten im schweizerischen Alpenraum existieren praktisch nicht. Die einzige Grundlage ist die Bodeneignungskarte im Massstab 1:200'000. Mit der GIS-Datenbasis des Kantons Graubünden wurde versucht, über eine räumliche Analyse einen Teil der Bodeninformationen nach der FAL-Nomenklatur zu modelieren. Die modellierten Grössen umfassen Bodentyp, Gründigkeit, Wasserhaushalt, Geländeform, pH-Wert, org. C-Gehalt, Skelettgehalt und die …
Bodenkundliche Untersuchungen im spät- und postglazialen Bereich des Hinteren Lauterbrunnentals (Berner Oberland, Schweiz)
Chronosequenzen vermitteln einen Einblick in die im Boden ablaufenden Prozesse und ermöglichen zudem Aussagen über die Landschaftsgenese. Die Verbindung des Faktors Zeit mit festgestellten Änderungen im Boden geben Hinweise über die Geschwindigkeit der entsprechenden Prozesse. Die im Schmadri untersuchten Bodenprofile (ca. 3'500 und 11'500 Jahre) zeigen eindeutige Unterschiede hinsichtlich ihres Entwicklungsgrades. Eine gute zeitliche Einordnung …

Hypothesen über die Bildung von Kaolinit in Böden der Schweiz
Üblicherweise wird angenommen, daß die Bildung von Kaolinit in Böden, ausschließlich an das Vorherrschen warmfeuchter Klimabedingungen sowie einer intensiven Perkolation des Bodens gebunden sein muß. Die von uns durchgeführten Untersuchungen an ausgewählten Bodenprofilen im schweizerischen Mittelland, im Jura und in den Alpen belegen, daß Kaolinit in einigen Fällen nachgewiesen werden kann und dies auch unter temperierten bis subalpinen Klimabedi…
