This cyclicity has been observed to exert a discernible influence on both marine and terrestrial environments (EPICA community members, &lt;span&gt;2004&lt;/span&gt;; Lisiecki and Raymo, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;). While the marine realm provides quasi-continuous sediment records back into the Tertiary, terrestrial environmental archives are more complex, often fragmentary, and commonly provide evidence of one interglacial only (Hughes et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). Sequences comprising multiple interglacials in superposition are uncommon, with notable examples including crater lake (de Beaulieu et al., &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;; Rohrmüller et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Stebich et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;) and tectonic lake records (Donders et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). Moreover, the majority of Central European records was analysed with a purely palaeobotanical (pollen) approach and their chronologies are typically based on wiggle matching (cyclostratigraphy), employing the global marine stable isotope stack (LR04) as a reference (Lisiecki and Raymo, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;). Despite the prevailing consensus that pollen records offer primary regional, rather than local, signals, there is the possibility that they may be incomplete or influenced by site-specific conditions. This potential limitation renders interregional correlation a challenging endeavour. The presence of regional variations in vegetation patterns, in conjunction with the absence of independent dating methodologies, further complicates stratigraphic classifications. These factors give rise to debates and controversial discussions surrounding the nature of Middle Pleistocene environmental variability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This assertion is particularly pertinent in the context of the discourse surrounding the palynologically defined Holsteinian interglacial in Central Europe. The initial correlation of this interglacial was with marine isotope stage (MIS) 7 (Caspers et al., &lt;span&gt;1995&lt;/span&gt;). However, subsequent studies moved it further back in time, to MIS 9 (Geyh and Müller, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;; Litt et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;), and finally to MIS 11 (Nitychoruk et al., &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;; Koutsodendris et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Lauer et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Fernández Arias et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Schläfli et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). However, the temporal position of glacial advances in Central Europe and especially of intervening interglacials (cf., Van Beirendonck and Verbruggen, &lt;span&gt;2025a&lt;/span&gt;) remains a scientific controversy. Furthermore, direct numerical dating of the Holsteinian is yet limited to a very few case studies. Thus, ‘the lesson being that simple, one-to-one, uncritical correlations with terrestrial, and in particular with the marine isotope sequences, hold many potentially serious pitfalls for the unwary’. This is even more complicated because ‘the fact that 100 ka glacial–interglacial cycles produced glac","PeriodicalId":16929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quaternary Science","volume":"40 5","pages":"916-921"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jqs.3727","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144598646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cave contains a 12-m-thick stratigraphic sequence of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic layers, which have yielded a number of flint artefacts and faunal remains. The upper part of the stratigraphic sequence is well-dated using radiocarbon analysis, placing the last Middle Palaeolithic occupations at ca. 44–45 ka cal BP and the first Upper Palaeolithic occupations (Uluzzian and Aurignacian) after around 43 ka cal BP. However, the lower part of the stratigraphic sequence remains less well-documented chronologically. Previous thermoluminescence (TL) dating placed the entire sequence within the last climatic cycle, following the last Interglacial stage (MIS 5e). In this study, we present a revised chronology for the Middle Palaeolithic levels at Fumane Cave, based on combined Electronic Spin Resonance/Uranium (ESR/U)-series dating of herbivorous teeth spanning much of the sequence. Our results diverge from earlier TL data, indicating that the oldest layers date to MIS 7–6 (units S9–S3) and MIS 6–5 (units BR12–BR9). For the late Mousterian (units A11–A4) and the Upper Palaeolithic (unit A2), recalculated ages using new <i>in situ</i> gamma measurements align with existing radiocarbon and TL dates. However, our findings highlight the methodological challenges of applying ESR/U-series dating to samples younger than 50 ka, particularly in heterogeneous layers. These new results suggest that Middle Palaeolithic occupations at Fumane Cave spanned over 200 ka, covering the two most recent climatic cycles.

The timing of the continental Ahrensburgian culture is closely linked to the later part of the Younger Dryas, also known regionally as the Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS), a cold period that saw a significant ice cap and glacier expansion across the mainland of western Scotland. Here, we examine the climatic, environmental and relative sea-level contexts and reflect on the location of this site on an island to the north-west of the Younger Dryas ice mass. South Cuidrach is situated on the north coast of Skye, lying around 25 km north-west of the maximum known local extent of the Younger Dryas ice mass. Most of the lithic assemblage is made from locally available baked mudstone. The site has good access to coastal and riverine resources and readily available ochre, suggesting it was deliberately chosen. Together with the new stone alignments and several other nearby sites, this region now contains more evidence for the LUP than anywhere else in Scotland. The geography and Late Glacial environment of west Scotland comprised a volatile landscape of water, mountains and fluctuating glaciers and coastlines, a challenging area at the north-westerly limit of the European landmass that was very different to the Ahrensburgian core territories in mainland Europe.

The eastern foothills of the Tai-hang Mountains in northern China are on the edge of the East Asian Summer Monsoon and are extremely sensitive to climate and environmental changes. Understanding the ecological changes in this region is vital for coping with future climate change and solving related climate and environmental problems. This study uses parametric grain size end-member analysis to discuss the depositional dynamics and ecological changes in the Middle Pleistocene of the Shijiazhuang JingXing YF profile. The results indicate that: (1) The OSL dates of the YF profile vary from 274 to 0.997 ka, and sedimentation began in the Middle Pleistocene. (2) The YF profile's sediments’ grain size is separated into four end elements: EM1 is the clay fraction produced by loam-forming action; EM2 and EM3 are long-distance transported fine silt and short-distance transported silt at low altitudes, representing the variation in East Asian Summer Monsoon intensity; EM4 represents the near-surface transported coarse silt fraction driven by East Asian Winter Monsoon power. (3) The grain size index reconstructed the paleoclimate of the Middle Pleistocene in the Shijiazhuang area, and it can be divided into four stages: 274–210 ka, the climate changed from cold to warm; 210–170 ka, was a warm period; 170–80 ka, the climate changed from warm to cold; and from 80–1 ka was a cold period.
