Late Pleistocene South American megafaunal extinctions associated with rise of Fishtail points and human population
(Springer, 2021-12)
In the 1970s, Paul Martin proposed that big game hunters armed with fluted projectile points colonized the Americas and drove the extinction of megafauna. Around fifty years later, the central role of humans in the extinctions ...
Radiocarbon geochronology of the sediments of the São Paulo Bight (southern Brazilian upper margin)
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011)
The aim of this work was to generate an inventory of the data on radiocarbon datings obtained from sediments of the São Paulo Bight (southern Brazilian upper margin) and to analyze the data in terms of Late Quaternary ...
A fossil bone of a giant ground sloth from the last millennium of the pleistocene: New data from Salto department, Uruguay
(Scientific Research Publisher, 2020-10)
During the Pleistocene-Holocene transition at ~10.0 uncalibrated, or ~11.7 calibrated kya, the Americas were undoubtedly inhabited by humans from north to south ends. The groups living in that time had cultural and adaptive ...
The Brazilian sea-level curves: a critical review with emphasis on the curves from the Paranaguá and Cananéia regions
(1997)
Relative sea-level curves for the mid- to late-Holocene have been proposed for eight different sectors along the Brazilian coast. This paper aims to review the data used to construct the curves proposed for two sectors, ...
New radiocarbon dates from the Edomite highlands and the hydraulic systems of southern JordanNuevas dataciones por radiocarbono de la altiplanicie edomita y los sistemas hidráulicos de Jordania meridional
(Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina "Santa María de los Buenos Aires". Facultad de Ciencias Sociales. Departamento de Historia. Centro de Estudios de Historia del Antiguo Oriente, 2020-12)
This study aims to interpret the recent radiocarbon datings of lime-based mortars from hydraulic structures of the archaeological site of as-Sila, in the northern Edomite plateau (Jordan). These radiocarbon dates suggest ...
Plateaus and jumps in the atmospheric radiocarbon record: Potential origin and value as global age markers for glacial-to-deglacial paleoceanography, a synthesis
(Copernicus Publications, 2020-12)
Changes in the geometry of ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC) are crucial in controlling past changes of climate and the carbon inventory of the atmosphere. However, the accurate timing and global correlation ...
Peopling time, spatial occupation and demography of Late Pleistocene–Holocene human population from Patagonia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-12)
The settlement of Patagonia has been the subject of extensive research, although key questions about the timing of arrival of the first humans and the subsequent patterns of dispersal and demographic changes within the ...
Continuity and discontinuity in the human use of the north coast of Santa Cruz (Patagonia Argentina) through its radiocarbon record
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-01)
In this paper, the analysis of a radiocarbon database of the North Coast of Santa Cruz (central Patagonia, Argentina), is presented. Dated archaeological samples were obtained from 56 different types of archaeological sites ...
