Climate change threatens many well‐preserved archaeological sites in the Arctic. The paper presents first Arctic multi‐threat assessment focusing on Nuuk region of Greenland. results suggest that majority 336 known are already exposed to impacts from microbial degradation, permafrost thaw and vegetation, these will increase over next 80 years. Additional coastal erosion only noted at a limited number due predominant consolidated uplifting coast. applied methods represent an important step...
Abstract In the Arctic region, microbial degradation poses a significant threat to preservation of archaeological deposits, actively consuming irreplaceable cultural and environmental records. this study we assess potential effects last 40 years climate change on organic deposits within UNESCO World Heritage area Kujataa in South Greenland. We use dynamic process-oriented model, CoupModel simulate soil temperatures moisture contents at four sites area. The results show that have experienced...
Vegetation is changing across the Arctic in response to increasing temperatures, which may influence archaeological sites region. At moment, very little known about how different plant species remains. In this study we visited 14 stretching a climatic gradient from outer coast inner fjords Nuuk Fjord area of West Greenland assess impact vegetation growth on preservation. Examination physical disturbance layers and materials by roots showed that horsetail (Equisetum arvense) was particularly...
Over the past decades, climate change has accelerated deterioration of heritage sites and archaeological resources in Arctic subarctic landscapes. At same time, increased tourism growing numbers site visitors contribute to degradation manipulation sites. This situation created an urgent need for new, quick, non-invasive tools methodologies that can help cultural managers detect, monitor, mitigate vulnerable In this context, remote sensing applications UAVs could play important role. Here, we...
Evaluating the rate of deterioration at archaeological sites in Arctic presents several challenges. In West Greenland, for example, increasing soil temperatures, perennial thaws, coastal erosion, storm surges, changing microbial communities, and pioneer plant species are observed as increasingly detrimental to survival organic deposits found scattered along country's littoral zones extensive inner fjord systems. This article discusses recent efforts by REMAINS Greenland project developing a...
Archaeological evidence suggests that middle Holocene hunter-gatherer-fisher (HGF) populations set up camps on coastal shell ridges of Sri Lanka. From the to late Holocene, areas were subjected several localized episodes marine transgression and regression due sea level oscillation. During highstands Godavaya hill in southeastern Lanka was a headland jutting into Indian Ocean between two submerged embayments. We present an analysis data collected from rescue excavation conducted 2014 at...
Abstract The success and failure of past cultures across the Arctic was tightly coupled to ability people exploit full range resources available them, adapt fluctuations in resource availability. There is substantial evidence for hunting birds, caribou a wide marine mammals pre-historic Greenland from bone remains preserved ancient middens. However, extent which these communities relied on such as fish large cetaceans understudied because taphonomic processes bias that affect how taxa...
The Japanese occupation of Kiska Island in the Western Aleutians was far more comprehensive than previously reported or archaeologically documented. Remarkably wellpreserved World War II military tunnels, entrenchments, structural remains, and communications networks are located throughout southern coastal bays coves island. These features were constructed 1942–1943 by Imperial Army Navy troops stationed on during Aleutian Operation. their associated material assemblages provide an...
