The Digitization of Human Skeletal Collections
Human skeletal remains are a crucial source for understanding biocultural and evolutionary processes. Yet, their study and management are challenged by social, religious, and political factors, placing them in a ‘grey area’ within cultural heritage. Human skeletal collections often carry colonial legacies, raising ethical concerns and new challenges for research, curation, and public engagement in academic and museum institutions. In this context…
Exploring the nature of the concentric half-rings in the Pantelleria Vecchia Bank (Sicilian Channel)
The Pantelleria Vecchia Bank, a fascinating shoal in the Sicilian Channel, exhibits enigmatic underwater morphological and geological features. These have led to speculation about the possibility that this site may once have hosted an ancient settlement, dating back to a time around 9000 years ago when this bank was still above sea level. In this paper, we focus on a previously little-explored area in the northeastern part of the shoal, where a s…
Did plate tectonic changes lead to the emergence of hominid bipedalism
When early hominids began walking upright around 6 Ma, their evolutionary course took a sharp turn. The new posture enabled physical and mental developments that had not been possible before. The factors driving the transition from quadrupedalism to bipedalism remain open. Most studies have linked this fundamental transition to environmental, topographical, geomorphological, and climatic changes that progressively transformed jungle- and forest-d…
Seismic stratigraphy of the northern area of Punta Bandera (Lago Argentino, southern Patagonia)
The River Valleys of the Greek Colony of Selinunte
The ancient Greek colony of Selinunte, with its acropolis on a promontory on the south-western coast of Sicily, is flanked by two valleys where two modest rivers flow today: the Modione to the west and the Cottone to the east. Archaeological reconstructions, historical documents from various sources, and recent remote sensing surveys indicate two important bays corresponding to the ancient mouths of these two rivers, now completely covered by a t…
Stratigraphic signature of the Perito Moreno ice-dammings during the Little Ice Age (southern Patagonia, Argentina)
The spectacular water outburst occurring semi-periodically when the ice-dam formed by the external front of the Perito Moreno glacier collapses, is one of the most attracting events in the UNESCO ‘Parque Nacional Los Glaciares’ of southern Patagonia. These occurrences have been documented since 1936. Instead, evidence of previous events has been only indirectly provided by dendrochronology analysis. Here we show for the first time radiocarbon-dat…
Late-glacial fluctuations of two southern Patagonia outlet glaciers revealed by high-resolution seismic surveys
Lago Argentino hosts various calving glaciers, among them the famous Perito Moreno. Whereas the onland late Pleistocene–Holocene glacial history is rather well constrained, the submerged glacier-related features were until now undisclosed. Here we present a series of high-resolution seismic profiles revealing moraine bodies associated with the late-glacial glacier dynamics and the first bathymetric map of the Brazo Rico and Brazo Sur, the two sou…
Depositional setting of the southern arms of Lago Argentino (southern Patagonia)
Lago Argentino hosts a series of calving glaciers originating from the Southern Patagonian Icefield, the largest temperate ice cap of the southern hemisphere. Brazo Rico and Brazo Sur are two basins located in the southern part of Lago Argentino, where a series of high-resolution seismic profiles have allowed reconstruction of its depositional setting and sedimentary architecture, and to produce the following maps: top of the acoustic basement, t…
Shallow geophysics of the Asinara Island Marine Reserve Area (NW Sardinia, Italy)
We present a high-resolution swath bathymetric and backscatter map of the entire sector of the Marine Reserve Area (MRA) of the Asinara Island, along with a geological and sediment thickness map derived from the interpretation of a large set of high-resolution seismic profiles, and an airborne-derived hyperspectral image of the Asinara Island. Acquired data show that most of the eastern marine sector of the Asinara Island is characterized by quit…
