A comparison is made between the sequence of human fossils found in northern China along with their associated mammalian fossil and the loess-paleosol sequence. It is found that for the last 1200 ka, the flourishing period of the hominid with its
Propositions for the legend of a man showing the distribution of fossil periglacial phenomena as evidence for permafrost at the maximum of the last glaciation (post-Denckamp ca. 30,000 B.P. till pre-Bolling ca. 13,000 B.P.)
The legend is based on the opinion that only ice-wedge casts, fossil sand wedges, deep fossil frost cracks, pingos and pingo-like scares and fossil permafrost depressions are reliable indicators of former permafrost.
On the possible utilization of Camelops by early man in North America
Amérique du Nord ; Archéologie ; Camelops ; Géographie historique ; Histoire de la géographie ; Ossement fossile ; Pléistocène supérieur ; Préhistoire ; Taphonomie
Of 25 fossil assemblages examined, 2 might be examples only of geological contemporaneity of humans and Camelops| 2 might indicate behavioral association of humans and Camelops bones| and 2 might indicate actual human utilization of Camelops
Pleistocene proboscidean fossil from the Alaskan continental shelf
Pleistocene proboscidean fossils recovered from the Bering Land Bridge strengthen the hypothesis that man may have originally colonized the Americas via this route during times of lowered sea level.

Rates and time scales of pedogenic processes in natural and man-affected soil systems
Propriétés initiales des paléosols fossiles sous des tumulus récemment influencés par l'impact agrogène intensif. Compréhension des propriétés des paléosols ayant une échelle de temps de variabilité intercentennale. Reconstitution des conditions
paléoclimatiques pour différents intervalles de temps sur la période de développement de la culture des Alains dans le Caucase du Nord en utilisant les propriéts initiales des paléosols fossiles sous des tumulus.
Pleistocene areas of red sediments and carbonized vegetation have in the past been interpreted as caused by fires of either natural or human origin. Some are associated with darkened mammoth and bird fossils, which have been considered as having
been burned by early man. Reevaluation of these so-called fire areas by interdisciplinary investigations indicates that the above phenomena are the result of low-temperature (up to 100o C), non heating processes occurring in groundwater.
