The Sangha River Interval, Its Earliest Village Settlements, and the Bantu-Speakers’ Expansion During the Late Holocene (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo Republic)
Le marbre de Carrare dans les œuvres romanes du Roussillon pendant le xie siècle (linteau de Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines, linteau et table d’autel de Saint-André-de-Sorède). Analyses texturales et isoto…
Le linteau en marbre blanc de l’église abbatiale de Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines, dans le sud du Roussillon, est reconnu comme la plus ancienne sculpture romane datée de l’Occident (1020-1021). Il présente de fortes analogies stylistiques avec le linteau et la table d’autel de l’église voisine de Saint-André-de-Soréde. Ce sont ces trois pièces sculptées qui ont ici fait l’objet d’études pétrographiques et isotopiques afin d’identifier la provenance …
Late Holocene forest contraction and fragmentation in central Africa
During the warmer Holocene Period, two major climatic crises affected the Central African rainforests. The first crisis, around 4000 cal yr BP, caused the contraction of the forest in favor of savanna expansion at its northern and southern periphery. The second crisis, around 2500 cal yr BP, resulted in major perturbation at the forest core, leading to forest disturbance and fragmentation with a rapid expansion of pioneer-type vegetation, and a m…
Coupled Rock-Eval pyrolysis and spectrophotometry for lacustrine sedimentary dynamics
In recent years, Nguène Lake and Kamalété Lake (Gabon, West Central Africa) have been studied repeatedly, providing comprehensive reconstructions of environmental changes over the last millennia. Both lakes are in different geomorphological and environmental settings. They are therefore excellent sites to test new methodological approaches. Indeed, the sedimentary cores provide various facies, and the previous studies provide references for calib…

The Holocene sedimentary and pyroclastic accumulations of two crater lakes (Mbalang,Tizong) of the volcanic plateau of Adamawa (Cameroon)
This paper presents the results from field observations, geochemical and mineralogical analyses, radiocarbon dating and magnetic susceptibility of the Holocene sediments of two crater lakes, Mbalang and Tizong, located within the woody savanna of the Adamawa Plateau (Cameroon). In the Mbalang core (M4) with an age of 7318 cal. BP at the base, the first 2000 years record indicates a relatively wet climate deduced from the recurrence of quartz-rich…

Historical environmental changes at phalasarna harbor, West Crete
The ongoing archaeological excavations that started in 1986 on the site of the harbor of Phalasarna have confirmed that the ancient port described as a closed harbor by ancient geographers is, due to the regional uplift of west Crete, now situated on dry land, about 6.6 m above sea level. In this paper, after summarizing the geological background, the main historical sources and recent archaeological results, new stratigraphical data obtained fro…
Holocene deltaic sequence in the Saloum estuary, Senegal
The 2250 km 2 Saloum delta, south of Dakar, Senegal, consists of a Holocene sedimentary sequence deposited during five evolutionary stages: submerged postglacial ria, funnel-like estuary, barred estuary, cuspate delta, and reverse estuary. The passage from one stage to another was marked by the deposition of sedimentary units consisting of shelly sands, silty or sandy clays, and an extensive thick green mud. Muds in the lower strata, dating betwe…
Contribution de l'étude exoscopique des quartz à la reconstitution paléogéographique des derniers épisodes du Quaternaire littoral du Congo
The paleogeographic and particularly palaeoclimatic evolution in the Congo at the end of the Quatemary has been investigated thoroughly with a study of grain surfaces using the scanning electron microscope. The succession of distinct physicochemical environment marks is characterized with the help of other methods (radiocarbon, micropaleontology). During a still-existing tropical climate, arid periods are contemporaneous with regressive phases (e…
