Paleoecological Reconstruction Derived from an Age–Depth Model and Mollusc Data, Pécel, Hungary
Open AccessLászló Makó, Péter Cseh et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2025
The Pécel loess–paleosol profile is a 25.72-metre-high well-preserved sequence in the northern part of Hungary. It was sampled every 4 cm for the purpose of sedimentological analysis and every 12 cm for the purpose of mollusc investigation, which are relatively high resolutions in loess investigation. Twenty samples were radiocarbon-dated from the L1 layer (top 8 m of the sequence). Subsequently, an age–depth model was constructed, from which an …

Application of Parameterized Grain-Size Endmember Modeling in the Study of Quaternary Oxbow Lake Sedimentation
Open AccessAbdelrhim Eltijani, Dávid Molnár et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2022
Abandoned channels are essential in the Quaternary floodplains, and their infill contains different paleoenvironment recorders. Grain-size distribution (GSD) is one proxy that helps characterize the alluviation and associated sedimentological processes of the abandoned channels. The classic statistical methods of the grain-size analysis provide insufficient information on the whole distribution; this necessitates a more comprehensive approach. Gr…
The building of palisades and palisaded castles in Ottoman Hungary – Case studies
Open AccessGyöngyi Kovács, Pál SümegiARTICLEActa Archaeologica Academiae…2022
During the period of Ottoman rule in Hungary (1541‒1686), palisaded castles of differing sizes were typical elements in the border-castle networks on both sides of the battlefront: the Ottoman and the Christian. Archaeological remains (post-holes, beam structures, parts of palisades) complement the data in the written sources, making perceptible and measurable the great quantities of timber used in the building of castles. In the case of the Otto…
