Human populations and cultural adaptations in the Sahara and Nile during prehistoric times in The Sahara and the Nile. Quaternary environments and prehistoric occupation in northern Africa.
The environmental adaptation of nomads in the West African Sahel: a key to understanding prehistoric pastoralists in The Sahara and the Nile. Quaternary environments and prehistoric occupation in northern Africa.
Late Holocene sea-level changes seen from prehistoric settlements
Radiocarbon dates from prehistoric human settlements in Varanger, Finnmark, North Norway, are used to examine Holocene relative sea-level changes. (JH).
Relation of loess units and prehistoric find density in the Garzweiler open-cast mine, Lower Rhine
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
stratigraphy. Most of the finds belongs to two periods, MIS 4 and MIS 2. The prehistorically finds it compares with the loess units. - (IfL)
Unearthing prehistoric cultural landscapes: a view from Australia
The aim of this paper is to draw together current work in physical and cultural geography in pursuit of a more sophisticated analysis of prehistoric cultural landscapes than has hitherto been possible.
Measurement of significant marine paleotemperature variation using black abalone shells from prehistoric middens
The AA. introduce a new method to document water paleotemperature cycles using archaeological specimens. They use developmental trajectories of abalone from dated, stratified archaeological deposits to reconstruct prehistoric seawater temperatures.
Perspectives on prehistoric and recent gullying in central Zimbabwe in Soil erosion and host materials in Africa.
This investigation provides prehistoric and historical perspectives on the current erosion problem in extensive gully systems developed on sodic soils near St. Michael's Mission, central Zimbabwe. Specifically, the study focuses : 1
) on the colluvial sediments exposed in the gully particularly with a view to determining the timing and nature of prehistoric gullying, 2) the main factors affecting gully growth since the 1940s, and 3) small-scale influences on present day headcut recession.
Desertifikation der Sahara in der Vorzeit? Prähistorisch-archäologische Erkenntnisquellen. (Did desertification occur in the Sahara during prehistoric times? Archeologic and prehistoric evidences)
Analytical study by X Ray diffrection and Scanning Microscope of highly weathered prehistoric flints. Thanks to ressembling of debitage products, differently weathered though they are coming from the same core, it is proved that a part of the silica
of some prehistoric tools or flakes has been solubilized by water.

Human-induced erosion in a highlands catchment in Papua New-Guinea : the prehistoric and contemporary records
Analysis of very much more comprehensive data sets has allowed the AA. to calculate with greater accuracy prehistoric rates of sediment accumulation in the swamp, and hence to infer erosion rates in the contributing catchment. In addition they have
monitored the current rate of sediment loss from the catchment, enabling comparisons to be made between prehistoric and contemporary rates of erosion.
