During the last fourteen thousand years, East Africa was the locus of significant climatic and cultural changes, which highly affected landscape evolution and prehistoric ways of life. Enhanced monsoonal precipitations over the tropics, mainly driven by Earth's precessional and eccentricity orbital parameters, were the primary causes of the...

Une série de 3 sondages a été réalisée en septembre 2017 à Panossas « L'Etang de Griez » (Isère) sur un parcellaire fossile repéré d'avion à proximité du vaste établissement gallo-romain des Buissières. Découvert dans les années 1960 et signalé comme une villa (Burnand, 1976), cet établissement a récemment été réinterprété comme une station...

During the Last Interglacial-Early Glacial transition (MIS5-MIS4; ~73 ka), substantial hydroclimatic changes affected morphogenetic processes, landform dynamics, and ecosystem variability over the Mediterranean sub-alpine valleys. This transition is mainly preserved in the northern Mediterranean region in continuous marine, lacustrine, and peat...

The La Combette rock-shelter, located in the Luberon mountains (Southern France), is an essential local archaeological discovery. The site comprises several Palaeolithic layers suggesting multiple phases of Mousterian occupation. The sediment sequence of c. 7 m thickness indicates rapid changes in the environmental conditions, which led to an...

Human-induced environmental disturbances during the Holocene have provided support for the Early Anthropogenic Hypothesis (EAH), which proposes that with the advent of agro-pastoralism and associated deforestation, humans have modified CO2 and CH4 concentrations into the atmosphere. However, only limited evidence exists for human driven...

Climate conditions in Africa have varied substantially during the Late Quaternary with alternating humid and arid periods controlled mainly by the African monsoonal regime. However, the duration and termination of the last African Humid Period (14–6 ka BP) and its internal climatic variability are still debated. Using a laminated sequence from...

Methodological approaches that allow the characterization of environmental and climatic changes on complementary tem-poral and geographical scales are essential in the study of the response of ancient societies to changes in their environment.Here, through the combining taxonomic and isotopic (δ13 C) analysis of archaeological ...
