The first archaeomagnetic secular variation (SV) curves for the whole Southern Balkan Peninsula are presented. These based on all data within a 700 km circle centred at Thessaloniki (40.60oN, 23.00oE). This set consists of 325 directional and 625 intensity mainly from Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia southern Hungary. Some Italy also included. sliding moving window technique, was used to calculate continuous SV curve while were calculated using bivariate extension Fisher statistics. well constrained...
Abstract Disentangling the effects of climate and human impact on long-term evolution Earth Critical Zone is crucial to understand array its potential responses ongoing Global Change. This task requires natural archives from which local information about soil vegetation can be linked directly parameters. Here we present a high-resolution, well-dated, speleothem multiproxy record SW Italian Alps, spanning last ~10,000 years interglacial (Holocene). We correlate magnetic properties carbon...
Published Italian archaeomagnetic data are combined with new from the Genève and Torino laboratories. A total of 74 directional is presented age estimates falling between 1300 BC to 1600 AD, including results volcanic deposits unquestionable age. The set has been analysed using Bayesian stochastic approach for curve building produce a preliminary secular variation (SV) curve. Comparison French SV shows general agreement but some significant differences also observed. can be used dating...
Geodiversity refers to the variety of geological features, including rocks, minerals, fossils, landforms, and soils, that shape our planet. Geosites are tangible examples geodiversity, often selected for their scientific, educational, or cultural value. However, lack proper management geosites can lead degradation with serious consequences such as loss heritage, imbalance ecosystems, weakened climate resilience, etc. Therefore, effective protection crucial ensure conservation both...
Reconstructing the past geomagnetic field variations is a key point for understanding dynamo processes that take place in Earth’s outer core and deciphering field’s behavior over centennial millennial scales. For this purpose, well-dated paleomagnetic data from volcanic rocks archeological artifacts used, coming different parts of world contributing to calculation regional global models. Japan, located eastern part Asia characterized by intense activity long cultural...
We present the first Italian reference secular variation curves for both direction and intensity that cover last 3000 years. Strict selection criteria were applied to guarantee collection of most reliable data within a 1000 km radius Viterbo, including archaeomagnetic records from archaeological material volcanic rocks. The new are calculated using Bayesian statistics they depict interesting geomagnetic field features, such as high‐intensity periods. These Italy, directional data, can be...
We present new archaeointensity results from three Italian kilns situated at Ascoli Satriano, Vagnari and Fontanetto Po obtained with the Thellier modified by Coe double heating method. These data complement directional previously published. All sites are dated on basis of archaeological information and/or thermoluminescence dating. The corrected for anisotropy thermoremanent magnetization cooling rate effects. compared published Italy nearby countries within 900 km radius Viterbo. An...
Abstract We present absolute geomagnetic intensities from iron smelting furnaces discovered at the metallurgical site of Korsimoro, Burkina Faso. Up to now, archaeologists recognized four different types based on construction methods, which were related subsequent time periods. Additionally, radiocarbon ages obtained charcoal confine studied ranging 700–1700 AD, in good agreement with archaeologically determined periods for each type furnace. Archaeointensity results reveal three main groups...
Three kilns and a collection of baked bricks from Italian archaeological sites have been studied for archaeointensity determination using the Thellier method as modified by Coe. All are dated based on information their ages range 500 to 800 AD 1500 1700 AD. Rock magnetic studies identify magnetite, Ti- magnetite hematite main minerals, susceptibility versus temperature shows good thermal stability samples. The intensity results corrected anisotropy thermoremanent magnetization cooling rate...
