The submerged Neolithic village Newe Yam on the Israeli Mediterranean coast in Quaternary coastlines and marine archaeology: Towards the prehistory of land bridges and continental shelves.
Sea level has risen at least 5 m since 5000 B.C., when the population of this Neolithic village was forced to abandon the settlement due to rapid accumulation of sand. (P. A. Pirazzoli).
Early Neolithic occupation on the submerged continental plateau of Roussillon (France) in Quaternary coastlines and marine archaeology: Towards the prehistory of land bridges and continental shelves.
An early Neolithic occupation site established on a deltaic levee was submerged before 5000 yr B.P.
This study is based on a comparative analysis of the environmental evolution information recorded in the Qinghai Lake, the western edge of the Loess Plateau and Zoige and the spatial distribution of Neolithic sites of the Gansu-Qinghai region
. Results and discussion. The climate change in the early, middle and late periods of the Holocene Megathermal was consistent which the development of Neolithic cultures in the Gansu-Qinghai region, which well explains the evolution of man-land relationship
Settlement patterns and landscape change: The Late Neolithic and the Bronze Age of the Marais Poitevin area of Western France
Geomorphological and settlement evidence is used for a consideration of the relationship between changes in the landscape and patterns of site distribution during the period 2800. 600 BC. Distribution maps show that the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age

In order to determine the broad outlines of the alluvial plain's Holocene evolution, to evaluate the possibilities to settle in the valley floor during the Neolithic and to specify the nature of the substrate on which the site of Madzhari
Investigating Neolithic land use in Swifterbant (NL) using micromorphological techniques
Archaeology ; Archeological site ; Human impact ; Humid environment ; Land use ; Micromorphology ; Neolithic ; Netherlands (The) ; Quaternary
In the Swifterbant area in the Netherlands, a complete Neolithic landscape is preserved, buried in a wetland environment. The AA. investigated the site- and land-use on 2 locations (S2 and S4) using micromorphological techniques. Results
A Neolithic yew bow in the Polish Carpathians : evidence of the impact of human activity on mountainous palaeoenvironment from the Kamiennik landslide peat bog

The spatial and temporal distribution of the settlement sites of 6 periods from the Neolithic Age to the Shang and Zhou dynasties in northern Shandong was investigated using the ArcGIS program, and the relationship between settlement distribution
Holocene soil formation and soil erosion at a slope beneath the Neolithic earthwork Salzmünde (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany)
Archeological site ; C 14 dating ; Chernozem ; Chronostratigraphy ; Geochemistry ; Germany ; Holocene ; Human impact ; Neolithic ; Pedogenesis ; Saxony-Anhalt ; Soil erosion
Phases of formation and erosion of Holocene soils were reconstructed based on a sequence of buried soil horizons and colluvial layers at a lower slope section beneath the Neolithic earthwork of Salzmünde, located 12 km west of the city of Halle

This paper presents direct evidence in the form of a triangular cross-section channel (1 m in width 0.24 m in depth), for Late Neolithic artificial water management on the Tehran Plain. The antiquity of this channel is supported by dating directly
above and below by C 14, associated ceramic sherds and correlation with Late Neolithic levels. The nature and function of this channel is evaluated through comparisons with natural channels (ancient and modern) together with evidence from palynology
Semi e carboni del mesolitico e neolitico della Grotta dell'Uzzo, Trapani. (Seeds and charcoal from the mesolithic and neolithic sequence of Uzzo Cave, Trapani)
Core sampling of a Holocene marine sedimentary sequence and underlying Neolithic cultural material off Franchthi Cave, Greece in Quaternary coastlines and marine archaeology: Towards the prehistory of land bridges and continental shelves.

In South Germany, soil erosion is as old as farming and dates back to Early Neolithic times. Its sedimentary products form thick colluvial and alluvial sediment bodies in all drainage basins. Here, a graphical analysis of results from case studies
