The Ancestral Puebloans occupied Chaco Canyon, in what is now the southwestern USA, for more than a millennium and harvested useful timber fuel from trees of distant forests as well local woodlands, especially juniper pinyon pine. These woodland products were an essential part resource base Late Archaic times (3000–100 BC) to Bonito phase (AD 800–1140) during great florescence Chacoan culture. During this vast expanse time, availability portions declined. We posit, based on pollen...
The authors present preliminary results from a new research project based in Jebel Shaqadud, Sudan. Their findings highlight the potential for this region's archaeological record to expand our understanding of adaptation strategies used by human groups arid north-east African environments away rivers and lakes during Holocene. Furthermore, they exceptionally early radiocarbon dates that push postglacial occupation eastern Sahel back twelfth millennium BP.
A portable toilet manufacturer in northwest Indiana (USA) released polyethylene microplastic (MP) pollution into a protected wetland for at least three years. To assess the loads, movement, and fate of MPs from this point source, water sediment samples were collected fall spring 2021–2023. Additional samples, including cores atmospheric particulates, during summer 2023 select areas wetland. The isolated field using density separation, filtration, chemical oxidation. Infrared Raman...
