The Past Water Futures project charts the impact of ancient dam rehabilitation on climate change-induced water scarcity in the North Central Andes. The rehabilitation of late period (AD 750–1532) Prehispanic dams is a novel approach to assuage increasing water shortage among the rural communities of the Andean highlands. Nevertheless, until now, we lacked data on the real-time impact of these modern conservation and rehabilitation projects. Here we present preliminary results, including volume capacity, potential demand, hydrological and hydraulic analysis and a reservoir filling log of the Prehispanic Weetacocha ‘Lake of Flowers’ Dam, which was rehabilitated in late 2024. Weetacocha belongs to the rural community of Racratumanka, District of Pamparomás, Province of Huaylas, Ancash Region, Peru. Importantly, we analyse the cost per m3 unit of water recovered through the rehabilitation of the Weetacocha Dam, proving that the restoration of water dams can provide a viable, cost-effective, community-led, sustainable alternative to modern micro-dam construction in the Central Andes and potentially further afield.","PeriodicalId":55117,"journal":{"name":"Geoarchaeology-An International Journal","volume":"41 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gea.70067","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466646","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}

This study presents a multidisciplinary geoarchaeological investigation of the Ostriv Dubovets site in northwestern Ukraine, including geomorphological, stratigraphic, micromorphological, particle size and magnetic susceptibility analyses. The site's pedosedimentary archive reveals a bipartite Late Glacial palaeosol, the upper of which shows signs of clay illuviation and cryogenic alteration. The periglacial phenomena are the youngest in this region, representing cryoturbation, cryogenic-induced subsidence and frost fissures. Aeolian sand sedimentation during the Younger Dryas stadial led to the formation of an elevation that was inhabited by ancient people in the Mesolithic period. The site underwent strong soil redeposition and deflation until the onset of the Subatlantic period, when modern soil began to form. Both erosional and pedogenic phases were mainly governed by natural factors and land use practices, leading to multiple artefacts' redeposition.

Furthermore, its mass resolution, combined with mass- and reaction-filtering, allows the measurement of several isotope systems that are otherwise difficult to analyse due to significant interferences. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio has been widely used in geochronology and geochemistry, increasingly also in archaeology as a provenance proxy. Because of limited Sr-isotope variations in archaeological materials, high-precision thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (TIMS) or multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) techniques have been preferred. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the 87Sr/86Sr ratio from 14 faunal and human tooth enamel samples using TIMS and ICP-MS/MS with SF6 reaction gas. Our results show that the relative difference in the 87Sr/86Sr ratio between these methods is less than 0.001 (i.e., < 0.1%), which is sufficient for provenance studies in the geologically complex areas with larger variability in bioavailable strontium isotopic composition. The precision of the ICP-MS/MS technique limits its suitability for establishing the bioavailable strontium Sr-isotope ratio baselines, but it can be a fast and cost-effective method in (1) distinguishing values that significantly deviate from the local bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr ratio, (2) filtering those samples that differ remarkably from the average of a larger sample and (3) assessing the homogeneity of the archaeological data.</div>","PeriodicalId":55117,"journal":{"name":"Geoarchaeology-An International Journal","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148174135","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}
