Holocene variations of wildfire occurrence as a guide for sustainable management of the northeastern Canadian boreal forest by Ahmed El-Guellab, Hugo Asselin, Sylvie Gauthier, Yves Bergeron, Adam A. Ali

An 800&thinsp;kyr planktonic <i>δ</i>¹⁸O stack for the Western Pacific Warm Pool by C. L. Bowman, D. S. Rand, L. E. Lisiecki, S. C. Bova

“…Similarities in stack uncertainty between the WPWP planktonic <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸</span>O stack and benthic <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸</span>O stacks, also constructed using BIGMACS, demonstrate that the software performs similarly well when aligning regional planktonic or benthic <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸</span>O data. A total of 65 radiocarbon dates from the upper portion of five of the WPWP cores suggest that WPWP planktonic <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸</span>O change is nearly synchronous with global benthic <span class="inline-formula"><i>δ</i>¹⁸</span>O during the last glacial termination. …”

Frequent activity on Vulcano (Italy) spanning the last 80 ky: new insights from the chemo-stratigraphy of the Brown Tuffs by Meschiari, S, Albert, PG, Lucchi, F, Sulpizio, R, Smith Johnson, VC, Kearney, R, Tranne, CA

“…The distinctive chemical groupings observed within the glass analyses, both temporally and spatially, allow us to fingerprint the three main stratigraphically defined macro-units in which the BT succession can be sub-divided using prominent tephra marker beds, the Ischia Tephra (Monte Epomeo Green Tuff; 56 ky) and Monte Guardia pyroclastics from Lipari (herein radiocarbon dated to 27–26 ky). The Lower (80–56 ky; LBT), Intermediate (56–27 ky; IBT) and Upper BT (here dated at 24–6 ky; UBT) macro-units display K-series volcanic glasses ranging from basaltic trachy-andesites, through trachy-andesites, to more evolved trachytes, all consistent with an origin on Vulcano. …”

Stone-tool assemblage of the Eneolithic settlement of Tolum-1 in the Konda River Basin by Khramcov M.V., Chairkina N.M., Dubovtseva E.N., Myznikov S.A.

“…Polished rounded and teardrop-shaped pendants are found in the funerary and, to a lesser extent, settlement complexes of the Trans-Urals and Western Siberia in the Late Neolithic — Eneolithic. A series of radiocarbon dates obtained for the settlement of Tolum-1 and other sites of the Enyi type in the north of Western Siberia, as well as the technical and technological characteristics and morphology of the stone inventory of the settlement under consideration, and a wide range of analogies leave open the possibility of attributing the structure No. 3 to the Eneolithic Period, within the span of the calibrated dates in the interval of 3600–2600 BC.…”
