Holocene coastal evolution and environmental changes in the lower Río Guadiaro valley, with particular focus on the Bronze to Iron Age harbour ‘Montilla’ of Los Castillejos de Alcorrín (Málaga, Andalusia, Spain) Open
Phoenicians were the first to systematically develop the area surrounding the Strait of Gibraltar at the end of the 9th century B.C. Following pioneering studies in the Río Guadiaro estuary (Málaga/Cádiz) in the 1980s, a German‐Spanish coo…

Nonmarine Ostracoda as proxies in (geo‐)archaeology — A review Open
Ostracods as bioindicators are extremely useful for reconstructing palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate and can also indicate the provenance of sediments and materials, for example, in studies on ancient commercial networks. Ostracods are s…

The unexpectedly short Holocene Humid Period in Northern Arabia Open
The early to middle Holocene Humid Period led to a greening of today’s arid Saharo-Arabian desert belt. While this phase is well defined in North Africa and the Southern Arabian Peninsula, robust evidence from Northern Arabia is lacking. H…

Insights into Holocene relative sea‐level changes in the southern North Sea using an improved microfauna‐based transfer function Open
In light of global warming and rising relative sea level (RSL), detailed reconstructions of RSL histories and their controlling processes are essential in order to manage coastal‐protection challenges. This study contributes to unravelling…

Mid‐ to late Holocene environmental changes and human‐environment interactions in the surroundings of La Silla del Papa, SW Spain Open
In southern Iberia, the surroundings of the Strait of Gibraltar are known as a crossroad for population movements, cultural exchanges, and trade from Late Prehistory to modern times. However, questions remain about the impact of this histo…

Early Permian Palaeotemperature Values Proposed for Continental Red-Bed Deposits of the Tambach Formation at the Bromacker Section Open
A variety of formulas can be found in the literature to convert geochemical data into absolute palaeotemperatures. In the present study, we test a formula for calculating the Early Permian (Artinskian) palaeotemperatures based on major ele…

Metagenomics of tsunami deposits: developments, challenges and recommendations from a case study on the Shetland Islands (UK) Open
<p>Onshore tsunami deposits provide crucial information on tsunami recurrence patterns in flood-prone areas. Their composition is mainly a function of the site-specific coastal sediment system, bathymetry, and onshore topography and …
