By coupling the 187Os/188Os data with a detailed age–depth model, our study demonstrates a period of RSL fall between 16.2 and 15.9 cal ka BP, which culminates in basin isolation. The close agreement between the biostratigraphy, where available, and the 187Os/188Os record confirms the viability of this isotope system as an RSL proxy not reliant on microfossil preservation and thus a potentially effective approach when poor microfossil preservation hampers palaeoenvironmental reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":16929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quaternary Science","volume":"41 3","pages":"507-519"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jqs.70057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147686281","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}

In this study, we present updated evidence from Caverna Generosa, a “bear cave” situated at 1450 m a.s.l. in the Lombard Prealps, Italy. Our research integrates new lithic analyses with recent micromorphological and paleontological data, offering a comprehensive understanding of the site's occupational history. Radiometric recalibration of existing dates, combined with comparative analyses of other high-altitude Neanderthal sites, refines the chronological framework of these occupations in a late phase of the Middle Paleolithic. Although sparse, the lithic assemblages from Caverna Generosa provide valuable insights into Neanderthal technological behaviors. The pronounced fragmentation of the reduction sequence, along with the presence of end-products, indicates a level of planning and mobility consistent with hunter–gatherer strategies in challenging environments. These results contribute to broader discussions on Neanderthal toolkits and adaptations to high-altitude habitats, highlighting the complexity of their subsistence strategies and settlement patterns. This research further underscores the importance of “bear caves” as key sites for understanding Neanderthal life in alpine regions and demonstrates the potential for integrating sporadic and episodic occupation evidence with data from more residential sites to reconstruct coherent patterns of land use and territory occupation.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quaternary Science","volume":"41 3","pages":"380-399"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147686994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The KOT shows no stratigraphic variability in glass composition throughout ~15 cm thickness. The Rangitawa Tephra contains three glass populations that were deposited sequentially throughout the eruption and further link this tephra to the Whakamaru supereruption. The new tephra has two glass populations and is matched to the ~322 ka Matahina caldera-forming eruption. High-resolution sampling of peat bracketing the KOT and Rangitawa Tephra reveals marked changes in local vegetation following the deposition of both tephras. The nature of the changes varies between events and can be explained by differing paleoenvironmental settings, climate and/or tephra thickness.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quaternary Science","volume":"41 3","pages":"361-379"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147686381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the rural economy of Anatolia transitioned from the intensive mixed-farming regime of the Graeco-Roman era to a more varied medieval agricultural system. We reconstruct here for the first time this transition in a region of Anatolia located close to Constantinople through pollen analysis of a sediment core from Lake Yeniçağa, dated to between ~2300 and ~1200 cal a BP. After discussing data for the Hellenistic–Roman era, we document repeated attempts at the recovery of mixed farming during the 6th to 8th c. CE. These attempts were only successful toward the end of our study period, with the stabilization of the military situation in the region, as is also visible in the written sources that we analyze in parallel in this paper. Crucially, this model of land exploitation was also constrained by the climatic oscillations that reflected its transitional location between the Aegean, Central Anatolian, and Black Sea climate regions. Thus, our study provides a perfect illustration of the interplay between environment and society in relation to the primary production sector (agriculture), in the dynamic context of a strong elite presence in the nearby capital city.","PeriodicalId":16929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quaternary Science","volume":"41 3","pages":"520-539"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jqs.70059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147686896","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 oldest faunas, dated to the Muchkap (MIS 15) and Likhvin (MIS 11) interglacials, belonged to the Late Tiraspolian and Gun'ki small mammal complexes, respectively. Later faunas, corresponding to the Kamenka, Romny, and Mezin paleosols, included chronotaxa morphologically close to modern species. The youngest Middle Pleistocene fauna most likely correlates with the Romny interglacial (MIS 7). The youngest overall fauna dates to the Bryansk (=Denekamp) interstadial (late MIS 3). We performed the first comprehensive analysis of the quantitative composition of these faunas using multivariate analysis and inferred qualitative relationships among them. The main component of variation in faunal composition identified by non-metric multidimensional scaling (first NMDS axis) reflects evolutionary changes in the phyletic lineages of steppe lemmings (Lagurus) and narrow-headed voles (Stenocranius). The other two components correlated with the geographical position (longitude and latitude, respectively) of the sections, most likely reflecting a relatively stable pattern of variation in ecological conditions across the East European Plain. The faunal composition suggests that the animals inhabited semi-arid and arid steppe habitats, and that the paleosols formed during the warmest and driest phases of the interglacials in Eastern Europe. The non-analog Bryansk interstadial complex is associated with conditions of periglacial, mosaic steppe–tundra-like environments.

This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites. Marine phases are recorded from 10 988 to 10 507 cal \u0000BP in eastern Mull, when the relative sea level (RSL) was higher at 1.98 ± 0.15 mOD, and coinciding with the end of the Loch Lomond Stadial. The sea-level record for north-west Mull commences from 7570 to 7431 cal \u0000BP (285 cm [4.56 mOD]), showing higher RSL at 4.69 ± 0.14 mOD and approximately corresponding with the timing of the highstand recorded at nearby Arisaig. RSL is higher than present levels following marine transgression at 2273–1926 cal \u0000BP (153 cm [6.47 mOD], RSL: 3.78 ± 0.13 mOD) in north-west Mull and at 3460-2469 cal \u0000BP (317 cm [7.31 mOD, RSL: 2.39 ± 0.14 mOD]) in eastern Mull. Sea-level index points generally align well with RSL changes recorded regionally, though there is some indication that RSL was higher in north-west Mull. The data point at 10 988-10 507 cal \u0000BP can contribute to constraining the thickness of the British and Irish ice sheet as the thickest central dome of the ice sheet extended along this area of the British Isles. Coastal vegetation changes show little variation from grass-, sedge- and heather-dominated heathlands, with oak and birch shrublands throughout the Holocene. Following marine regression, there is indication of arboreal expansion in eastern areas, whilst a progressively more open environment is evident in north-west Mull. Corresponding changes in the herb pollen mosaic, NPPs and microcharcoal levels indicate a long-term anthropogenic presence on the island.","PeriodicalId":16929,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quaternary Science","volume":"41 3","pages":"400-418"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jqs.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147686301","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}
