The ideas behind peatland restoration and the utility of testate amoebae in informing such schemes are brie‘ y reviewed discussed context two lowland raised-mire sites northwest England (Astley Moss, part Chat Moss complex Greater Manchester, Danes Cheshire). Our study indicates a high degree correspondence between their response to major documented climatic deteriorations during last five millennia. In particular, c. 2300 BP event appears correspond with greatly increased water-table ‘...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming landscape archaeology by enabling the automated analysis of high-resolution datasets, such as airborne laser scanning (ALS). The Automatic Detection Archaeological Features (ADAF) tool an example potential AI to streamline identification subtle surface features and demonstrate their value in uncovering understanding archaeological landscapes. By improving detection sites, ADAF plays a crucial role research, management preservation cultural...
The nature conservation, and wider environmental importance of peatlands, particularly in relation to carbon management, has led there being a growing interest attempting manage degraded peatlands way that will restore them fully functioning peat- land ecosystems. Much this management is concerned with the rewetting these sites therefore it become important monitor surface wetness bogs if possible compare current previous, pre-damage, conditions. We present previously unpublished case...
ABSTRACT A multiproxy Lateglacial environmental record is presented for a ca. 3.5‐m lacustrine sequence retrieved from small basin (ca. 2 km ) at Thomastown Bog in County Meath, Ireland. Sediment chemistry, pollen, chironomid and stable isotope data provide detailed picture of catchment lake system changes the end last glacial (GS‐2a) to early Holocene that correspond closely existing local regional models climate change. Concomitant adjustments independent proxy records are matched NGRIP...
This article uses radio broadcasting as a lens into the fraught relationship between African National Congress and South Communist Party during exile. Unlike armed struggle, which waxed waned, remained constant preoccupation for many constituencies within this alliance. provides several examples of growing emphasis on three decades exile, explores theoretical underpinnings strategic turn, concludes with discussion role in context camp mutinies Angola. During time, underwent significant...
ABSTRACT High‐resolution seismic and bathymetric data offshore southeast Ireland LIDaR in County Waterford are presented that partially overlap previous studies. The observed Quaternary stratigraphic succession (between Dungarvan Kilmore Quay) records a sequence of depositional erosional events supports regional glacial models derived from nearby coastal sediment stratigraphies landforms. A regionally widespread, acoustically massive facies interpreted as the ‘Irish Sea Till’ infills an...
The research reported here combines high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from airborne LiDAR with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys and macro- micro-scale sedimentological analyses to study the geomorphology internal structure composition of ridges mounds within an area hummocky topography in Brosna basin, central Ireland. Our evidence indicates that much consists fragmented mega-scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) indicating a phase accelerated ice flow, overlain by...
According to Elliot Smith, the dragon ‘is most intimately associated with earliest stratum of divinities, for it has been homologized each members Trinity, Great Mother, Water God, and Warrior Sun both individually collectively. To add complexities story, dragon-slayer is also represented by same deities, either or collectively; weapon which hero slays homologous him his victim, animated who wields it, its powers destruction make a symbol power evil itself destroys.’ Wherever found displays...
The Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site, Ireland is best known for its megalithic monuments, in particular the great developed passage tombs of Knowth, Dowth, and Newgrange, abundance art. However, our understanding wider landscape has changed beyond all recognition last decade owing to application modern, non-invasive survey technologies – LiDAR large-scale geophysical most recently as a result hot, dry summer 2018 which revealed series remarkable cropmarks between Newgrange River Boyne....
