A study of a last interglacial shell midden and bone accumulation at Herolds Bay, Cape Province, South Africa in Palaeoecology of Africa and the surrounding islands. Volume 15. Southern African Society for Quaternary research. Proceedings.
A large assemblage of salmon bones excavated 50 yr ago from an 10,000-yr-old archaeological site near The Dalles, Oregon, has been the primary evidence that early native people along the Columbia River subsisted on salmon. Analysis of archaeologic
, geologic, and hydrologic conditions at the site indicates an anthropogenic source for most of the salmonid remains, which have associated radiocarbon dates indicating that the site was occupied as long ago 9300 cal yr B.P. The abundance of salmon bone
Data from pollen, plant macrofossils, diatoms, mollusks, and fish bones and scales are combined with geologic data to provide the most detailed Holocene record yet available for the southern Colorado Plateau.
, pH, leaching. The known applications about various materials (bones, shells, sediments,...) are described and discussed. Future developments of the method are also considered.
The Peoria Loess of south-central Nebraska, deposited approximately during the Last Glacial Maximum, can be subdivided into three zones: an upper laminated loess and a lower massive loess, separated by a dark gley zone in which bison bones
Eleven conventional and 15 AMS (accelerator mass spectrometer) radiocarbon dates establish chronologies for nine Holocene vertebrate fossil sites in the Galapagos Islands. A Holocene fossil record approaching 500,000 bones, more than 90 % of which
This study examines the dichotomy that C 14 ages for noncollagenous fossils are underestimated, whereas ages for collagenous fossil bones are more accurate. There is a high probability that amino acids from poorly preserved fossils will date younger
This paper describes teeth and bone fragments recovered from the peaty deposit during a search for coleopterain remains. The paper also summarises some of the Coleoptera and plant remains previously described and comments on the ecological
During the road construction work near the city of Pécs (South Hungary), many fossils were found in September 2008. New finds of bone and teeth remains of Mammoth Steppe fauna from Upper Pleistocene fluvial sediments are reviewed. The complete Late
The article deals with the loess budget and the prehistoric finds in Lower Rhine. A statistically search for prehistoric finds recovered during prospections yielded 1131 Palaeolithic bones and artefacts that could be as signed to the detailed
This paper shows the use of Mixture Analysis on vertebrate fossil populations in a prehistoric context with implications on prey acquisition by early humans. For instance, the analysis of mouflon bones from Arago cave (Tautavel, France) indicates
This paper assesses the preservation of biogenic isotopic composition of the collagen fraction of mammal bone and tooth from the uppermost well-defined layer of the cave (numbered 1A) and determines the ecological basis for interspecific differences
Preliminary description of several sites of fossil bone accumulation in the central mountains in the west of the island, at elevations higher than any previously known. The environmental settings of the faunas are interpreted with help from some
A 5000-yr stratigraphic record containing fossil pollen, charcoal, and bones of the extinct Quaternary megafauna from Andolonomby, a hypersaline pond in arid southwestern Madagascar, shows evidence for climatic desiccation beginning about 3000 yr
None of the questions regarding the extinctions can be definitively answered with the data presented here. However, in combination with other 14C dates of bone collagen recently reported from site in the southwest and the northwest, the five dates
The goals of the research were to relocate the site; collect exposed bone or stone artefacts; examine the site stratigraphy in the light of current understanding of regional late Quaternary history; and date the site radiometrically. This paper
