  • Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch

    Open AccessMike Walker, M J C Walker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Quaternary Science2012

    This discussion paper, by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommision on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), considers the prospects for a formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch. Although previous attempts to subdivide the Holocene have proved inconclusive, recent developments in Quaternary stratigraphy, notably the definition …

  • Late second–early first millennium BC abrupt climate changes in coastal Syria and their possible significance for the history of the Eastern Mediterranean

    Open AccessDavid Kaniewski, Étienne Paulissen et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2010

    The alluvial deposits near Gibala-Tell Tweini provide a unique record of environmental history and food availability estimates covering the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. The refined pollen-derived climatic proxy suggests that drier climatic conditions occurred in the Mediterranean belt of Syria from the late 13th/early 12th centuries BC to the 9th century BC. This period corresponds with the time frame of the Late Bronze Age collapse an…

  • Medieval coastal Syrian vegetation patterns in the principality of Antioch

    Open AccessDavid Kaniewski, E Van Campo et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2010Cited by: 3References: 9

    The coastal area of Jableh, in the vicinity of the Saladin and Al-Marquab castles, is a fertile alluvial plain located on the northwestern part of Syria, in what was once the crusader Principality of Antioch. In order to detail the coastal environment during the crusader period in the Middle East, palynological analyses have been conducted on the underlying coastal-alluvial deposits. The recovered sediments represent a continuous record of the en…

  • Holocene Climate and Cultural Evolution in Late Prehistoric–Early Historic West Asia

    Open AccessMichael Staubwasser, H Wei et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2006

    The precipitation climatology and the underlying climate mechanisms of the eastern Mediterranean, West Asia, and the Indian subcontinent are reviewed, with emphasis on upper and middle tropospheric flow in the subtropics and its steering of precipitation. Holocene climate change of the region is summarized from proxy records. The Indian monsoon weakened during the Holocene over its northernmost region, the Ganges and Indus catchments and the west…

  • What Drives Societal Collapse?

    Open AccessH Wei, Harvey Weiss et al.ARTICLEScience2001

    The archeological and historical record is replete with evidence for prehistoric, ancient and pre-modern societal collapse. These collapses occurred quite suddenly and frequently involved regional abandonment, replacement of one subsistence base by another (such as agriculture by pastoralism) or conversion to a lower energy socio-political organization (such as local state from interregional empire). Each of these collapse episodes has been discu…

  • The Genesis and Collapse of Third Millennium North Mesopotamian Civilization

    Open AccessH Wei, H Weiss et al.ARTICLEScience1993

    Archaeological and soil-stratigraphic data define the origin, growth, and collapse of Subir, the third millennium rain-fed agriculture civilization of northern Mesopotamia on the Habur Plains of Syria. At 2200 B. C., a marked increase in aridity and wind circulation, subsequent to a volcanic eruption, induced a considerable degradation of land-use conditions. After four centuries of urban life, this abrupt climatic change evidently caused abandon…

    H Wei, Harvey Weiss et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Archaeology1990Cited by: 1

    The 1985 season of excavations at Tell Leilan, north-eastern Syria, revised our knowledge of the city's role in Mesopotamian cultural, political, and developmental history of the mid-third and early second millennium B. C. The Acropolis Period I Building Level 2 (19th century) temple plan was completed and established as the earliest historic period example of the Assyrian "long-room" temple. Portions of another major building on the Acropolis, p…

  • Excavations at Tell Leilan and the Origins of North Mesopotamian cities in the Third Millennium B.C

    H Wei, Harvey WeissARTICLEPaléorient1983Cited by: 10

    The aggregate productivity of high-yield dry farming in northern Mesopotamia was apparently centralized ca. 2500-2400 B.C. within 90-100 hectare urban centers like Tell Leilan. This was perhaps an endogenous process which resulted in the formation of Hurrian dynasties

    De Indianen zijn de oorspronkelijke bewoners van Guyana. Zij worden in verschillende stammen verdeeld, w. o. de Arawakken, Warauen en Caraiben de belangrijkste zijn. Deze laatsten, wilder en woester dan de andere stammen, en volgens eenige geschiedschrijvers vroeger kannibalen, woonden in het Oosten en Zuiden van de kolonie. Zij schijnen afkomstig van de eilanden van Middel-Amerika. De Warauen woonden in het ZuidWesten en de Arawakken in het West…
