and up-to-date account of the main issues and debates on the region’s archaeology from the late Pleistocene to the early historic period. It discusses questions ranging from food subsistence management, technology transfer and long-distance exchange
Using the limit equilibrium method for assessing slope failure conditions in an archaeological site of the 4th century B.C.
The impact on the territory of important archaeological sites and related human activities has induced, as a rule, modifications in the local environmental system. An example is represented by the sanctuary of the goddess Mefitis in Macchia Rossano
, in the territory of Vaglio Basilicata, close to the town of Potenza (southern Italy). This archaeological site has been affected by swelling in historical times that occurred in the allochthonous, chaotic, heterogeneous, and anisotropic polychrome scaly clays

the archaeological record and a chronology of great earthquakes in Cascadia. Interbedded or bounding tsunami deposits in midden stratigraphy, or hiatuses in the occupation of each site that immediately postdate known earthquakes, are taken as supporting evidence

The new site in Quebrada Puripica (Atacama basin, northern Chile) provides information about both the archaeological and the paleoclimatological questions and sheds light on an interesting period. The exceptional combination of archaeological
fireplaces preserved and embedded in debris flows from individual storms allows i) to establish a precise chronology for individual storms (frequency and intensity) by radiocarbon dating the archaeological fireplaces and ii) to document the succession
Recent aeolian origin of surficial gypsum crusts in southern Tunisia : geomorphological, archaeological and remote sensing evidence
Aeolian features ; Archaeology ; C 14 dating ; Duricrust ; Eolian deflation ; Geochronology ; Gypsum ; LANDSAT ; Quaternary ; Remote sensing ; Roman era ; Surface deposits ; Thematic Mapper ; Tunisia
This paper provides new evidence on both the mode of formation and the age of surficial gypsum crusts by studying archaeological, remote sensing and geomorphological evidence from surficial gypsum deposits in the Chott Fedjaj basin and northern part

and faulted archaeological evidence for post-Roman earthquake surface faulting. This paper presents field observations that have been made at Cibyra and discusses the relationship between deformed relics and historical earthquakes in view of the historical
Reconstruction of the old cultural surface of a Bronze Age Settlement - An example for a multi-methodological interaction of Soil Science and Archaeology in Southern Germany

Pedological and geophysical field methods in combination with laboratory analyses were used in close proximity to the archaeological excavation site at Mintraching (near Regensburg, Bavaria). Studies about the terrace stratigraphy of the river
A comparison of charcoal and archaeological information to address the influences on Holocene fire activity in the Sydney Basin
Aborigines ; Archaeology ; Australia ; Charcoal ; Fire ; Holocene ; Human impact ; New South Wales ; Palaeo-ecology ; Quaternary
The archaeological evidence was used as an index of human activity through time to assess anthropogenic influences on fire activity. Charcoal was quantified in a radiocarbon-dated sediment core from Griffith Swamp covering 6000 calibrated years BP
