  • A terrestrial record of climate variation during MIS 11 through multiproxy palaeotemperature reconstructions from Hoxne, UK

    Open AccessDavid J Horne, Nick Ashton et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2023

    A terrestrial (lacustrine and fluvial) palaeoclimate record from Hoxne (Suffolk, UK) shows two temperate phases separated by a cold episode, correlated with MIS 11 subdivisions corresponding to isotopic events 11.3 (Hoxnian interglacial period), 11.24 (Stratum C cold interval), and 11.23 (warm interval with evidence of human presence). A robust, reproducible multiproxy consensus approach validates and combines quantitative palaeotemperature recon…

  • New integrated molecular approaches for investigating lake settlements in north-western Europe

    Open AccessAntony G Brown, Antony Brown et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2022Cited by: 1References: 25

    Lake settlements, particularly crannogs, pose several contradictions—visible yet inaccessible, widespread yet geographically restricted, persistent yet vulnerable. To further our understanding, we developed the integrated use of palaeolimnological (scanning XRF, pollen, spores, diatoms, chironomids, Cladocera, microcharcoal, biogenic silica, SEM-EDS, stable-isotopes) and biomolecular (faecal stanols, bile acids, sedaDNA) analyses of crannog cores…

  • Radiocarbon Dating of a Multi-phase Passage Tomb on Baltinglass Hill, Co. Wicklow, Ireland

    R J Schulting, Meriel Mcclatchie et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…2017Cited by: 5References: 18

    Baltinglass is a multi-chamber Neolithic passage tomb in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, excavated in the 1930s. This paper presents the results of a radiocarbon dating programme on charred wheat grains and hazelnut shell found underlying the cairn, and on cremated human bone found within and near two of the monument’s five chambers. The results are surprising, in that three of the six determinations on calcined bone pre-date by one or two centuries the ch…

  • The Changing Face of Neolithic and Bronze Age Ireland

    Open AccessT Rowan Mclaughlin, Nicki J Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEJournal of World Prehistory2016Cited by: 23References: 9

    This paper synthesizes and discusses the spatial and temporal patterns of archaeological sites in Ireland, spanning the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age transition (4300–1900 cal BC), in order to explore the timing and implications of the main changes that occurred in the archaeological record of that period. Large amounts of new data are sourced from unpublished developer-led excavations and combined with national archives, published excavati…

  • A palaeoenvironmental context for Terminal Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic activity in the Colne Valley

    Michael Grant, Craig Stevens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2014Cited by: 1References: 18

    Multi-proxy analyses from floodplain deposits in the Colne Valley, southern England, have provided a palaeoenvironmental context for the immediately adjacent Terminal Upper Palaeolithic and Early Mesolithic site of Three Ways Wharf. These deposits show the transition from an open cool environment to fully developed heterogeneous floodplain vegetation during the Early Mesolithic. Several distinct phases of burning are shown to have occurred that a…

  • 'Islands' in Holocene Forests

    Nicki J Whitehouse, N Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2004

    Human activity has undoubtedly had a major impact on Holocene forested ecosystems, with the concurrent expansion of plants and animals associated with cleared landscapes and pasture, also known as 'culture-steppe'. However, this anthropogenic perspective may have underestimated the contribution of autogenic disturbance (e.g. wind-throw, fire), or a mixture of autogenic and anthropogenic processes, within early Holocene forests. Entomologists have…

  • Mire ontogeny, environmental and climatic change inferred from fossil beetle successions from Hatfield Moors, eastern England

    Open AccessNicki J Whitehouse, N WhitehouseARTICLEThe Holocene2004Cited by: 3References: 16

    Results of a fossil Coleoptera (beetle) fauna from a fen edge sequence from Hatfield Moors, Humber-head Levels, England, are presented. Mire ontogeny inferred from this location and others are discussed, particularly in the light of previous palynological and plant macrofossil investigations. Peat initiation across most of the site centres around 3000 cal. bc, characterized by a Calluna- Eriophorum heath with areas of PinusBetula woodland. The on…

    Open AccessGretel Boswijk, Nicki J Whitehouse et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2002Cited by: 7References: 5

    Tree-ring analysis of subfossil Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus sp. and their associated subfossil insect assemblages from tree rot-holes have been used to study a prehistoric forest buried in the basal peats at Tyrham Hall Quarry, Hatfield Moors SSSI, in the Humberhead Levels, eastern England. The site provided a rare opportunity to examine the date, composition, age structure and entomological biodiversity of a mid-Holocene Pinus-dominated fore…
