Shell middens and soil terraces as archives of human-littoral interactions since the first settlement of northwestern Tenerife, the Canary Islands
Shell middens on the coasts of the Canary Islands attest to past indigenous lifeways. However, their potential as records of local environmental conditions in coastal areas, where sediment deposits are rare, remains to be assessed. Here we use a multi-proxy approach (malacology, pollen, NPPs, phytoliths and microcharcoal quantification) in two shell middens and one associated soil terrace deposit in the coastal area of the Isla Baja (Buenavista d…
Phytoliths from modern plants in the Canary Islands as a reference for the reconstruction of long-term vegetation change and culture-environment interactions
The Canary Islands were the first part of the Macaronesian archipelago to have been settled by humans. The various ways in which the indigenous inhabitants and later European colonisers interacted with the native and endemic flora is a central topic for archaeologists, geographers and ecologists. Floristic changes can be studied from phytoliths which are plant microfossils with a high potential for preservation in sediment deposits and they can h…
Taming Fogo Island: Late-Holocene volcanism, natural fires and land use as recorded in a scoria-cone sediment sequence in Cabo Verde
Cabo Verde remained uninhabited until 1460 CE, when European sailors founded a settlement in Santiago, and soon after in Fogo island. The degree to which different island ecosystems in Cabo Verde have been transformed by humans remains uncertain because of a scarcity of historical information and archaeological evidence. Disentangling these processes from natural ones is complicated in islands with a history of volcanic impacts and other natural …
Global change in microcosms: Environmental and societal predictors of land cover change on the Atlantic Ocean Islands
Pollination service delivery for European crops: Challenges and opportunities
Reconstructing Holocene vegetation on the island of Gran Canaria before and after human colonization
We provide the first fossil pollen and charcoal analysis from the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands). The pollen record obtained from Laguna de Valleseco (870 m a.s.l.) spans the late Holocene ( c. 4500–1500 cal. yr BP) and thereby captures the impact of human colonization. During the earliest period, pollen composition resembled contemporary thermophilous communities, with palms ( Phoenix canariensis) and junipers ( Juniperus cf. turbinata)…
