Abstract

Abstract The ‘Wadden Sea Archive of landscape evolution, climate change and settlement history’ project (WASA) focuses on the analysis of marine sediment archives from the East Frisian Wadden Sea region. It aims at understanding the formation of palaeolandscapes since the end of the last ice age. One part of the project studies the possible correlation and shift of archaeological settlement patterns, climate change and sea-level rise through time in order to derive archaeological expectancy maps. In this paper we present our findings for a quantifiable set of Stone Age sites in the area of the prehistorical Dornumer tidal basin, discussing them against the background of coastal environmental factors and the applied methodology of our modelling. To enable spatial analysis of these sites, we developed a palaeographic elevation model, which was subsequently flooded at 2000-year intervals between the Boreal and early Subboreal periods. Particular challenges are posed by the dynamics of marine transgression, the related changes in the natural environment and their spatial extent. As a result of our GIS-based approach, the model can be extended geographically and provides a basis for future research.

德国西北部沿海低地作为全新世景观演变的档案:Dornumer潮汐盆地石器时代聚落格局空间评价的基础

“瓦登海景观演变、气候变化和定居历史档案”项目(WASA)重点分析了东弗里斯兰瓦登海地区的海洋沉积物档案。它旨在了解自上一个冰河时代结束以来古景观的形成。该项目的一部分是研究考古定居模式与气候变化和海平面上升之间可能的相关性和随时间的变化，以得出考古期望图。在本文中，我们展示了我们在史前Dornumer潮汐盆地地区一组可量化的石器时代遗址的发现，并在沿海环境因素的背景下讨论了它们，以及我们建模的应用方法。为了对这些地点进行空间分析，我们开发了一个古海拔模型，该模型随后在北方和亚北方早期之间的2000年间隔被淹没。海洋海侵的动态、自然环境的相关变化及其空间范围构成了特别的挑战。由于基于gis的方法，该模型可以在地理上进行扩展，并为未来的研究提供了基础。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
