Les changements climatiques de la fin du Tertiaire en Afrique: leur conséquence sur l'apparition du Sahara et de sa végétation in The Sahara and the Nile. Quaternary environments and prehistoric occupation in northern Africa.
A partir des données paléobotaniques sur le Pliocène et d'autres concernant les périodes plus anciennes, cet article essaye de rechercher quand et comment sont apparues les conditions désertiques au Sahara et comment s'est effectué son peuplement
Explores the enigma of a prehistoric center of dense population found in a zone of low agricultural potential. Arrives at no sound conclusions to account for this paradox. - (DWG)
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).

Geological and archaeological data from the now hyper-arid Eastern Sahara of Egypt, Sudan, Libya and Chad reveal close links between climatic variations and prehistoric occupation during the Holocene. At about 8,500 B.C.E., the Sahara´s margin
and swift reoccupation of the entire Eastern Sahara by prehistoric populations. Relatively stable humid environments prevailed over 3,200 years until about 5,300 B.C.E. The roughly parallel southward retreat of monsoonal precipitation can be tracked
the discontinuance of lacustrine deposits and the abandonment of prehistoric settlements at decreasing latitudes. The resulting southward movement of human settlement implied significant changes in pattern of behavior and land-use. - (IfL)
The environmental adaptation of nomades in the West African Sahel: a key to understanding prehistoric pastoralists in The nomadic alternative. Modes and Models of Interaction in the African-Asian deserts and steppes.
Le nomadisme pastoral des Kel Tamasheq, Mali méridional, permet de comprendre par analogie le mode de vie des peuples qui habitèrent les zones sahariennes et sahéliennes à l'ère post-paléolithique (entre 4000 et 1300 avant J.-C.) et leur adaptation
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.

In Section 1, six papers review and synthesize knowledge of sea-level chronology, coastal forms, and dynamics of nearshore waves, currents and sediments. In section 2, nine papers deal with unpublished or little known field studies of prehistoric
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.
