For the first time, we have identified evidence that disappearance of Neanderthals in Caucasus coincides with a volcanic eruption at about 40,000 BP. Our data support hypothesis Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition western Eurasia correlates global volcanogenic catastrophe. The coeval eruptions (from large Campanian Ignimbrite smaller Central Caucasus) had an unusually sudden and devastating effect on ecology forced fast extreme climate deterioration ("volcanic winter") Northern Hemisphere...
Abstract. The Eurasian (née European) Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) was established in 2013 to provide a public database of high-quality modern pollen surface samples help support studies past climate, land cover, and use using fossil pollen. EMPD is part of, complementary to, the European (EPD) which contains data on found Late Quaternary sedimentary archives throughout region. EPD turn rapidly growing Neotoma database, now primary home for global palaeoecological data. This paper describes...
The known distribution of wind-blown Vedde Ash (ca. 10.3 ka BP) has been extended to the Karelian Isthmus in northwestern Russia. This possible as result a density separation technique that separates rhyolitic shards from minerogenic host sediment. occurs middle pollen zone with high percentages of, for example, Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae, suggesting Younger Dryas (or GS-I GRIP ice-core event stratigraphy) was cold dry throughout its duration. is agreement sites south Sweden where also...
The article present the results of studying subrecent pollen spectra (SPS) and modern aquatic vegetation Lipovskoye Beloye lakes located on Kurgalsky Peninsula Baltic Sea, Russia. In 2023, paleolimnological researches were initiated for first time. An important role was assigned to macrophyte pollen. This led need assess how accurately reflect prepare a strong basis paleogeographical data interpretation. Surface samples analysis, collected during few expeditions in 2019 provided short-term...
The increased number of extreme marine events is one the most serious hazards to coastal areas around world. study impacts on lakes has enabled us gain important insights into ecosystem’s response these events. On Baltic Sea southeast coast as a result studying Lake Lipovskoye and Beloye Kurgalsky Peninsula obtained data hydrology hydrochemistry lakes, structure lakes’sediments, distribution macrophytes features vegetation reflection in lakes’surface sediments based pollen data. Bathymetric...
Sediment sequences retrieved from Lake Medvedevskoye (60degrees13'N 29degrees54'E) and Pastorskoye (60degrees13'N, 30degrees02'E). Karelian Isthmus, northwestern Russia, were analysed for lithology, pollen diatom stratigraphy, total organic carbon content mineral magnetic parameters. Age control both was provided by AMS C-14 measurements the Vedde Ash tephra. The reconstructed climatic environmental development shows deglaciation of sites a-ad establishment sparse shrub herb/grass vegetation...
In August 2023, a study of aquatic vascular plant communities was carried out in Lakes Beloe and Lipovskoe, located on the territory Kurgalsky State Nature Reserve regional importance. The species composition spatial distribution macrophyte were recorded using standard phytolittoral mapping method. Changes macrophytes by depth studied transects with scuba diving. an oligotrophic Lake Beloe, submerged are formed Lobelia dortmanna Isoëtes echinospora, I. lacustris, Myriophyllum alterniflorum...
The unique archaeological monument of Okhta 1 (Neolithic-Early Metal Age) was excavated in 2008 central Saint Petersburg (Russia). Radiocarbon and wiggle-match dating organic materials artifacts (charcoal wood samples ceramic food crusts) from lithological cultural layers helped to determine the main stages cultural-historical processes paleogeographical events coastal zone Baltic Sea bay during Holocene. Humans occupied Cape 4200–3600 cal BC, after Littorina regression. Prehistoric people...
This paper presents the results of pollen, diatom, charcoal, and sediment analyses from Lake Bol’shoye Zavetnoye, situated between Gulf Finland Ladoga on Karelian Isthmus, north-western Russia. The main goal is to contribute discussion Neolithic land use in north-eastern Europe. article aims answer questions related Stone Age hunter-gatherer economy, ecology, anthropogenic environmental impact through a comprehensive combination multiple types palaeoecological data archaeological material....
Newly available radiocarbon dates show the early signs of pottery-making in North Caspian area, Middle-Lower Volga, and Lower Don at 8–7 kyr cal BC. Stable settlements, as indicated by “coeval subsamples,” are recognized Volga (Yelshanian) 6.8 BC Lowland about 6 The ages Strumel-Gostyatin, Surskian, Bug-Dniesterian sites range 6.6–4.5 BC, overlapping with farming entities (Starčevo-Körös-Criş Linear Pottery), whose influence is perceptible archaeological materials. Likewise, 14 C-dated...
