Contrary to widespread assumptions, next-generation high (annual multiannual) and ultra-high (subannual) resolution analyses of an Alpine glacier reveal that true historical minimum natural levels lead in the atmosphere occurred only once last ~2000 years. During Black Death pandemic, demographic economic collapse interrupted metal production atmospheric dropped undetectable levels. This finding challenges current government industry understanding preindustrial pollution its potential...
Abstract Dust events originating from the Saharan desert have far‐reaching environmental impacts, but causal mechanism of magnitude and occurrence dust (SDEs) during preinstrumental era requires further research, particularly as a potential analog for future climate. Using an ultrahigh resolution glacio‐chemical record 2013 Colle Gnifetti ice core drilled in Swiss‐Italian Alps, we reconstructed 2000‐year‐long summer record. We analyzed both modern (1780–2006) premodern Common Era (CE) major...

Abstract The H1N1 “Spanish influenza” pandemic of 1918–1919 caused the highest known number deaths recorded for a single in human history. Several theories have been offered to explain virulence and spread disease, but environmental context remains underexamined. In this study, we present new record from European, Alpine ice core, showing significant climate anomaly that affected continent 1914 1919. Incessant torrential rain declining temperatures increased casualties battlefields World War...
Abstract Along the lower course of Rioni and several minor rivers, more than 70 settlement mounds (local name: Dikhagudzuba ) have been identified by field surveys remote sensing techniques. They give evidence a formerly densely populated landscape in coastal lowlands on Colchian plain (western Georgia) dated to Bronze Age. As yet, limited information is available their internal architecture, chronology different layers palaeoenvironmental context. Based archaeological sources, measurements...
Excavations at Flixborough, Lincolnshire (1989–91) revealed an important Anglo-Saxon settlement. Here the various interpretations are discussed, ranging from monastic to ‘magnate’.
Abstract Understanding the context from which evidence emerges is of paramount importance in reaching robust conclusions scientific inquiries. This as true present it past. In a trans‐disciplinary study such More et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017GH000064 ) and many others appearing this similar journals, proper analysis demands use historical evidence. includes demographic, epidemiological, socio‐economic data—common studies impact anthropogenic pollution on human health—and,...
In this neat investigation of a harbour site, the authors show how much can be learnt by site survey — and surface plotting remote mapping in particular. Here excavations are used to pilot geophysics, rather than other way round, ground-penetrating radar is employed not just where features are, but their sequence current vulnerability. This exemplary project demonstrates how, modern approaches fieldwork, sites studied excavated, comprehended stripped.
In the midlatitudes of planet, we are facing imminent disappearance one our best high-resolution (pre)historic climate and anthropogenic pollution archives, namely loss glacial ice, through accelerated global warming. To capture these records interpret vanishing it is imperative that extract ice-cores from midlatitude regions where glaciers still survive analyse them within frameworks inter-disciplinary research. this paper, focus on Georgia, part Greater Caucasus. Results ice-core analyses...
