In Memoriam
Alastair Dawson was a physical geographer and interdisciplinary Earth scientist who made outstanding contributions to understanding the development of the Scottish landscape and to Quaternary environmental change. His thoughtful and innovative research has had a lasting influence, particularly on glacial and periglacial geomorphology, interactions between ice-sheets, palaeoclimate and sea-level change, and the recognition and interpretation of Ho…
Environmental changes and historical occupation at Oued Laksar (Ksar Seghir), Morocco
Laksar is a small river near the village of Ksar Seghir, located between Tangier and Ceuta (Morocco), strategic points to control the Strait of Gibraltar over centuries. The river outlets at the western part of a sandy beach that can block the fluvial discharge in years of low precipitation/river flow. The area is densely occupied since the 5th century BC, during the roman period and Early Middle Age in the archaeological site of Dhar d’Aseqfane,…

Geology of the Macao Special Administrative Region (China)
A 1:12,000 geological map of the Macao Special Administrative Region has been produced through detailed field work supported by petrographic, mineralogical, geochronological and geochemical data obtained in previous studies. This map aims to represent a reliable tool to understand the geological evolution of the region and for management of the territory. The geology of Macao is dominated by two groups of Jurassic granitic rocks belonging to an i…
The role of climate, marine influence and sedimentation rates in late-Holocene estuarine evolution (SW Portugal)
Estuaries are sensitive to changes in global to regional sea level, to climate-driven variation in rainfall and to fluvial discharge. In this study, we use source and environmentally sensitive proxies together with radiocarbon dating to examine a 7-m-thick sedimentary record from the Sado estuary accumulated throughout the last 3.6 kyr. The lithofacies, geochemistry and diatom assemblages in the sediments accumulated between 3570 and 3240 cal. BP…
Biostratigraphic Evidence Relating to the Age-Old Question of Hannibal's Invasion of Italy, II
As discussed in Part I, a large accumulation of mammalian faeces at the mire site in the upper Guil Valley near Mt. Viso, dated to 2168 cal 14C yr., provides the first evidence of the passage of substantial but indeterminate numbers of mammals within the time frame of the Punic invasion of Italia. Specialized organic biomarkers bound up in a highly convoluted and bioturbated bed constitute an unusual anomaly in a histosol comprised of fibric and …
Biostratigraphic Evidence Relating to the Age-Old Question of Hannibal's Invasion of Italy, I
Controversy over the alpine route that Hannibal of Carthage followed from the Rhône Basin into Italia has raged amongst classicists and ancient historians for over two millennia. The motivation for identifying the route taken by the Punic Army through the Alps lies in its potential for identifying sites of historical archaeological significance and for the resolution of one of history's most enduring quandaries. Here, we present stratigraphic, ge…
The AD 1755 tsunami deposits onshore and offshore of Algarve (south Portugal)
Onshore tsunami sediment transport mechanisms inferred from heavy mineral assemblages
The aim of this study is to discuss and to extend the characterization of (palaeo)tsunami deposits, and their source materials, based upon the detailed study of their heavy mineral assemblages. Results obtained from three distinct locations (Portugal, Scotland and Indonesia), different coastal contexts and chronologies (the tsunami events studied took place at 1500 cal. yr BP, AD 1755 and 2004) are summarized and discussed in order to contribute …
A tsunami record in the sedimentary archive of the central Algarve coast, Portugal
This study describes sedimentation associated with the tsunami generated by the Lisbon earthquake of ad 1755. It is argued here that the tsunami deposited a sand sheet across the Lagoa dos Salgados (central Algarve, Portugal), that is intercalated with late-Holocene estuarine/lagoonal sediments. A wide range of proxies (sedimentological, exoscopic and palaeontological) are used to establish the provenance of the sandy material as well as to const…
