The environmental impact of a pre-Columbian city based on geochemical insights from lake sediment cores recovered near Cahokia
Cahokia is the largest documented urban settlement in the pre-Columbian United States. Archaeological evidence suggests that the city, located near what is now East St. Louis, Illinois, began to rapidly expand starting around AD 1050. At its height, Cahokia extended across 1000 ha and included large plazas, timber palisade walls, and hundreds of monumental earthen mounds. Following several centuries of occupation, the city experienced a period of…
Holocene environmental history of tropical, mid-altitude Lake Ocotalito, México, inferred from ostracodes and non-biological indicators
This paleolimnological study used ostracodes assemblages, element concentrations, organic and inorganic carbon content, organic C:N ratios, and stable isotope values in valves of the ostracodes Cytheridella ilosvayi as paleoindicators and is the first such investigation from a mid-elevation site in southern México. We provide a ~7600-year (9540–1970 BP) environmental history from karst Lake Ocotalito (920 m a.s.l.), which lies in the Lacandon For…
Synthetic Assemblages
Abrupt temperature change reflected in the pollen record of Lake Petén-Itzá, Central American lowland
Pollen distribution along climatic and biogeographic gradients in northern Central America
Environmental reconstructions based on fossil pollen rely on the understanding of modern pollen distribution along climatic and biogeographic gradients. This study analyses the modern pollen spectra of Central America using three basic approaches: (1) the evaluation of using modern pollen spectra to differentiate the main vegetation types of the region, (2) the usage of non-linear regression to predict individual pollen abundances as a function o…
