Shapes of the pottery vessels from the burial ground of the Late Bronze Age near the village of Peschanka in the Southern Transurals by Klimova A.D.

“…This is confirmed by the traits of independent cultural and chronological features of the morphology of the Alakul and Srubnaya-Alakul ceramics, as well as by two available radiocarbon dates. The results of the conducted research showed the possibility of: a) deriving a cultural core of the traditions, with the example of the specific site; and b) establishing a chronology of burial complexes on the basis of data on the traditions of creating the vessel shapes.…”

New evidence of the sabertooth cat Smilodon (Carnivora: Machairodontinae) in the late Pleistocene of southern Chilean Patagonia Nueva evidencia del gato dientes de sable Smilodon (... by ALFREDO PRIETO, RAFAEL LABARCA, VÍCTOR SIERPE

“…This evidence corresponds to the most southern record of the genus in the world, and the final step in the colonization of South America after the Great American Biotic Interchange. An AMS radiocarbon date on teeth indicates that the remains from Southern Chilean Patagonia are the most recent record for the genus in South America.…”

Constraints on the frequency and dispersal of explosive eruptions at Sambe and Daisen volcanoes (South-West Japan Arc) from the distal Lake Suigetsu record (SG06 core) by Albert, P, Smith Johnson, V, Suzuki, T, Tomlinson, E, Nakagawa, T, McLean, D, Yamada, M, Staff, R, Schlolaut, G, Takemura, K, Nagahashi, Y, Kimura, J, Members, S

“…The annually laminated (varved) and intensely radiocarbon dated lacustrine sediments of Lake Suigetsu (SG06 core), Japan are used to place chronological constraints on the tempo of volcanism at two stratovolcanoes located favourably upwind of the lake along the South-West Japan Arc, Sambe and Daisen. …”

Holocene phreatomagmatic eruptions alongside the densely populated northern shoreline of Lake Kivu, East African Rift: timing and hazard implications by Poppe, S, Smets, B, Fontijn, K, Rukeza, M, Migabo, A, Milungu, A, Namogo, D, Kervyn, F, Kervyn, M

“…We estimate that at least 15 phreatomagmatic eruptions occurred in the Holocene, during which Lake Kivu rose to its current water level. Radiocarbon dates of five paleosols in the top of volcanic tuff deposits range between ~2,500 and ~150 cal. yr BP, and suggest centennial- to millenial-scale recurrence of phreatomagmatic activity. …”
