's-Gravenhage in archeologisch perspectief. (The Hague, The Netherlands as seen in an archaeological perspective)
This article is one of a series of articles which give an overall picture of the geology and archaeology of the Municipality of The Hague, province of South Holland, The Netherlands. (AIS).
A single vertebra from an Early Formative period archaeological site in coastal Chiapas, Mexico, is identified as belonging to the amphibian Dermophis mexicanus. This specimen represents the first Quaternary fossil record for gymnophiones. Its
presence suggests the possible role of the species as a bioturbator. Its recovery is further evidence of the utility of fine-grained archaeological recovery techniques.

The AA. propose a framework for the study of surface archaeological deposits in which geomorphic processes in the past that have influenced human behaviour are just as important to understanding the archaeological record as the post- deposition
processes that have shaped the record. They illustrate this proposition by describing and analysing the consequences for the surface archaeological record of a single high magnitude rainfall event that occurred in New South Wales. Then, they consider how

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.
