Using rates of gravestone decay to reconstruct atmospheric sulphur dioxide levels
Decay losses from marble gravestones spanning the last 130 years were measured using the lead lettering index ( LLI ). The relationship between decay loss and gravestone age can be described using a power function of the form decay loss = a(age)b. For locations where decay is likely to have been dominated by ‘normal’ rainfall, the value of b tends to 1, while for locations where decay losses were higher in the past b tends towards a value of 2. U…
Paleo-Indian Occupations in Northeastern Minnesota
Environmental factors influenced Paleo-Indian occupation in northern portions of North America. Glacial features posed physical restrictions while revegetation on the post-glacial landscape limited available resources. Areas of northern Minnesota were ice-free by 13,500 B.P. with lake formation and revegetation at 12,000 to 11,000 B.P. By 11,200 B.P. northeastern Minnesota was probably habitable. However, archaeological evidence for early Paleo-I…
Holocene landscape evolution and the development of models for human interaction with the environment
Integration of a record of Holocene landscape evolution with the cultural record from a multicomponent archaeological site in northern Minnesota has fostered the development of a regional model of human interaction with the changing physical environment. Excavation of 21‐CA‐169 near Nushka Lake revealed two components, an aceramic Archaic zone where processing of large mammals was the major activity and an upper zone with artifacts suggestive of …
Discriminating Texturally Similar Tills in Central Minnesota by Graphical and Multivariate Techniques
The sequence of glaciation in the midwestern United States has been defined mainly by till stratigraphy. Correlation of tills over long distances, however, is complicated by spatial variation of sediment characteristics. In east-central Minnesota three till units were previously defined. Two were considered to be lithologically identical and were correlated with the late Wisconsin advance of the Rainy lobe, whereas a third till was assigned to th…
