New Data on the Dynamics of Vegetation of the Malozemelskaya Tundra in the Holocene on the Basis of a Comprehensive Paleobotanic Study of Lake and Bog Deposits in the Lake Golodnaya Guba Area
AbstractOn the basis of paleobotanical data obtained from lake and bog deposits in the Lake Golodnaya Guba area, the stages of waterlogging of the...

Vegetation changes in the Grote Nete valley (Campine region, Belgium) during the Boreal: a response to the 9.3 ka event?
Environmental changes have had an enormous impact on prehistoric hunter-gatherers as they affect the biotic landscape and availability of resources...

Morphometric distinction between Acute bulbosus phytoliths (silicified epidermal hair cells) from Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica leaves
The taxonomic differentiation of Panicum miliaceu (broomcorn millet) and Setaria italica (foxtail millet) is of high relevance for archaeology and...

Archaeological Plant Remains
This chapter reviews archaeobotany (or paleoethnobotany), beginning with taphonomic effects on the probability that various kinds of plant remains...

Plant remains preserved in products of metal corrosion: source of evidence on ancient plant materials and environment from burial contexts
By-products of metal corrosion, when coming into contact with organic matter, have the capacity to preserve it from decay. A pilot study was...

Long-Term Steady-State Dry Boreal Forest in the Face of Disturbance
We used bioproxies from paleosoils buried within two aeolian dunes to test hypotheses concerning the origin of dry sandy boreal forests in Canada....

The Caribbean Mangroves Today
Extant mangroves cover a total of approximately 14,700 km2 along Caribbean coasts, which represent ~10% of the total world’s mangrove extent. The...

Lake-level fluctuations and paleovegetation during the Houghton phase of glacial Lake Minong
The Houghton phase was a brief period of low water in the glacial Lake Minong (ancestral Lake Superior) basin during the early-mid Holocene. Previous...
