Geological opportunism
The geological opportunism exhibited by the inhabitants of Chaco Canyon, and possibly by those of the Tesuque Valley and Wadi Hasa, evidently changes in scope as technology progresses. If Cleopatra&s;s nose had been shorter, there would have been no Actium, and Nicopolis would not have been built to commemorate Augustus&s; victory; but the city could only survive with the help of a long aqueduct. The formation of China&s;s loess deposits is analo…
Stable isotope variability and the selection of terrestrial mollusc shell samples for 14C dating
Man's Role in the Shaping of the Eastern Mediterranean Landscape
Revised papers from a symposium entitled The impact of ancient man on the landscape of the Eastern Mediterranean region and the Near East held in Groningen, the Netherlands, March 1989

First-order 14C dating of marine molluscs in archaeology
A new technique of radiocarbon dating is presented, offering at modest expense the means to a determination that is good to the 'first order' of magnitude

Wandering Continents and Spreading Sea Floors on an Expanding Earth
The conference on the Implications of Continent al Drift to the Earth Sciences at Newcastle in 1972 was drawing to a close. For a week, participants had discussed new hypotheses on continent al drift, rift valleys, sea-floor spreading, plate tectonics, reversals of geomagnetic polarity and related topics, and now they were listening to the final paper, by Dr R. S. Dietz, on Continents adrift: new orthodoxy or persuasive joker. Ably illustrated by…

Prehistoric Economy in the Mount Carmel Area of Palestine
This study is concerned with the exploitation of resources by human groups in the Carmel area over a period of about 50,000 years. To this end an attempt is made to evaluate the changing economic potential of the ‘catchments’ of individual sites, for this enables us to make a comparative analysis of hunting-gathering and agricultural economies. Although the study of prehistoric sites is now usually complemented by some treatment of their setting,…
The Paracas Papers
Desert and River in Nubia
The Climate, Environment and Industries of Stone Age Greece
In the second article of this series, brief mention was made of a cave at Kastritsa, near Lake Ioannina, whose talus had yielded an industry reminiscent of the last phase at the shelter of Asprochaliko. The evidence for an increase in the size of Lake Ioannina during the Last Glaciation was also outlined. The purpose of this paper is to consider the concomitant environmental changes in relation to the evidence for human occupation. Lake Ioannina …

The Climate, Environment and Industries of Stone Age Greece
In 1965 the investigations described in the first paper of the series were resumed in Epirus. The excavation of the rock shelter of Asprochaliko was continued, and further geological observations made it possible to establish a continental sequence extending from the Last Interglacial to the present day. The geological succession and its associated artifacts was worked out in the Louros valley (fig. 1) and confirmed in other parts of Epirus. It c…
Observations on the Late Quaternary of Jordan
After the deposition of the Lisan Series and the disappearance of the great Pleistocene Jordan lake, erosion in the valleys draining into the Jordan Rift Valley was followed by a phase of tufa formation by the major springs. The tufas were then eroded; and the deposition of poorly-sorted gravel and soil filled the valleys and formed fans at their mouths.Stream downcutting into these deposits resulted in a terrace. A briefer period of aggradation,…

Arid Lands
A Pluvial Age in the Puna de Atacama
The puna de atacama, which Bowman has described admirably,1 is an area of basins, mountain knots and pied ont alluvial deposits at an elevation of about 10,000 feet, lying partly in Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, roughly between latitudes 260 and 180 S. The eastern marches of the Chilean Atacama Desert consist of a number of lofty depressions which are physiographically more akin to the Puna than to the low-lying coastal desert. Few geological fea…
