    Faithful Transgressions In The American West (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The central issue Bush finds in these works is how their authors have dealt with the authority of Mormon Church leaders. As she puts it in her preface, "I use the phrase 'faithful transgression' to describe moments in the texts when each writer, explicitly or implicitly, commits herself in writing to trust her own ideas and authority over official religious authority while also conceiving of and depicting herself to be a 'faithful' member of the Church." Bush recognizes her book as her own act of faithful transgression. Writing it involved wrestling, she states, "with my own deeply ingrained religious beliefs and my equally compelling education in feminist theories that mean to liberate and empower women." Faithful Transgressions examines a remarkable group of authors and their highly readable and entertaining books. In producing the first significant book-length study of Mormon women's autobiographical writing, Bush rides a wave of memoir publishing and academic interest in autobiography and other life narratives. As she elucidates these works in relation to the religious tradition that played a major role in shaping them, she not only positions them in relation to feminist theory and current work on women's life writings but ties them to the long literary tradition of spiritual autobiography.

    High Wide And Handsome (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: When he started taking paying passengers by boat through the rapids of the Colorado River's canyons, Norman Nevills invented whitewater tourism and the commercial river business. For twelve years, from 1938 until his death in a plane crash in 1949, he safely took, without a single life lost, friends, explorers, and customers down the Colorado, Green, San Juan, Salmon, and Snake Rivers in boats he designed. National media found him and his adventures irresistible and turned him into the personification of river running. Logging seven trips through the Grand Canyon when no one else had completed more than two, he was called the Fast Water Man. Boatmen he trained went on to found their own competing operations. Always controversial, Nevills had important critics and enemies as well as friends and supporters, but no one can dispute his tremendous impact on the history of western rivers and recreation. Nevills's complete extant journals of those river expeditions are published for the first time in High, Wide, and Handsome. They contain vivid stories and images of still untamed-by-dams rivers and canyons in the Colorado River system and elsewhere, of wild rides in wooden boats, and of the few intrepid pioneers of adventure tourism who paid Nevills so they could experience it all. They have been transcribed and edited by river historian Roy Webb, author of If We Had a Boat: Green River Explorers, Adventurers, and Runners and Call of the Colorado.

    Over the Range (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Francaviglia looks anew at the geographical-historical context of the driving of the golden spike in May 1869. He gazes outward from the site of the transcontinental railroad's completion-the summit of a remote mountain range that extends south into the Great Salt Lake. The transportation corridor that for the first time linked America's coasts gave this distinctive region significance, but it anchored two centuries of human activity linked to the area's landscape. Francaviglia brings to that larger story a geographer's perspective on place and society, a railroad enthusiast's knowledge of trains, a cartographic historian's understanding of the knowledge and experience embedded in maps, and a desert lover's appreciation of the striking basin-and-range landscape that borders the Great Salt Lake.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Despite mining's multidimensional role in the history of Utah since Euro-american settlement, there has never been a book that surveyed and contextualized its impact. From the Ground Up fill that gap with a collection of essays by leading Utah historians and geologists. Essays here address the geology of the state, the economic history of mining in Utah, and the lore of mines and miners. Additionally, the book reviews a handul of particularly significant mineral industries---saline, coal, uranium, and beryllium---and surveys important hard-rock mining regions of the state.

    Building The Goodly Fellowship Of Faith (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: As this critical, independent history, which ends with the ordination of one of the first women bishops in the nation, shows, Utah Episcopalians have had, despite small numbers, a remarkably eventful and significant history, which included complex relations with Mormons and Native Americans, early experience of women and homosexuals in the ministry, and a fascinating set of bishops. Among the latter were Daniel Tuttle, a leading figure in Episcopal history; Christian socialist and Social Gospel proponent Frank Spencer Spalding; and Paul Jones, forced to resign because of his pacifism during WWI. Frederick Quinn, an Episcopal priest and historian, is adjunct professor of history at Utah State University and adjunct professor of political science at the University of Utah. His previous books include Democracy at Dawn, Notes From Poland and Points East, a TLS International Book of the Year, and African Saints, Martyrs, and Holy People, a Black Catholic Congress Book of the Month. A former chaplain at Washington National Cathedral, he holds a doctorate in history from the University of California at Los Angeles.

    Junius And Joseph (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: "Junius and Joseph examines Joseph Smith's nearly forgotten [1844] presidential bid, the events leading up to his assassination on June 27, 1844, and the tangled aftermath of the tragic incident. It... establishes that Joseph Smith's murder, rather than being the deadly outcome of a spontaneous mob uprising, was in fact a carefully planned military-style execution. It is now possible to identify many of the key individuals engaged in planning his assassination as well as those who took part in the assault on Carthage jail. And furthermore, this study presents incontrovertible evidence that the effort to remove the Mormon leader from power and influence extended well beyond Hancock County [Illinois] (and included prominent Whig politicians as well as the Democratic governor of the state), thereby transforming his death from an impulsive act by local vigilantes into a political assassination sanctioned by some of the most powerful men in Illinois. The circumstances surrounding Joseph Smith's death also serve to highlight the often unrecognized truth that a full understanding of early Mormon history can be gained only when considered in the context of events taking place in American society as a whole."

    Exploring Desert Stone (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, now in Canyonlands National Park, near popular tourist destination Moab, still cannot be reached or viewed easily. Much of the surrounding region remained remote and rarely visited for decades after settlement of other parts of the West. The first U.S. government expedition to explore the canyon country and the Four Corners area was led by John Macomb of the army's topographical engineers. The soldiers and scientists followed in part the Old Spanish Trail, whose location they documented and verified. Seeking to find the confluence of the Colorado and the Green and looking for alternative routes into Utah, which was of particular interest in the wake of the Utah War, they produced a substantial documentary record, most of which is published for the first time in this volume. Theirs is also the first detailed map of the region, and it is published in Exploring Desert Stone, as well.

    No Place To Call Home (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Caroline Crosby's life took a wandering course between her 1834 marriage to Jonathan Crosby and conversion to the infant Mormon Church and her departure for her final home, Utah, on New Year's Day, 1858. In the intervening years, she lived in many places but never long enough to set firm roots. Her adherence to a frontier religion on the move kept her moving, even after the church began to settle down in Utah. Despite the impermanence of her situation, perhaps even because of it, Caroline Crosby left a remarkably rich record of her life and travels, thereby telling us not only much about herself and her family but also about times and places of which her documentary record provides a virtually unparalleled view. A notable aspect of her memoirs and journals is what they convey of the character of their author, who, despite the many challenges of transience and poverty she faced, appears to have remained curious, dedicated, observant, and cheerful. From Caroline's home in Canada, she and Jonathan Crosby first went to the headquarters of Joseph Smith's new church in Kirtland, Ohio. She recounts, in a memoir, the early struggles of his followers there. As the church moved west, the Crosbys did as well, but as became characteristic, they did not move immediately with the main body to the center of the religion. For awhile they settled in Indiana, finally reaching the new Mormon center of Nauvoo in 1842. Fleeing Nauvoo with the last of the Mormons in 1846, they spent two years in Iowa and set out for Utah in 1848, the account of which journey is the first of Caroline Crosby's vivid trail journals. The Crosbys were able to rest in Salt Lake City for less than two years before Brigham Young sent them on a church mission to the Society and Austral Islands in the South Pacific. She recorded, in detail, their overland travel to San Francisco and then by sea to French Polynesia and their service on the islands. In late 1852 the Crosbys returned to California, beginning what is probably the most historically significant part of her writings, her diaries of life. First, in immediately post Gold Rush San Francisco and, second, in the new Mormon village of San Bernardino in southern California. There is no comparable record by a woman of 1850s life in these growing communities. The Crosbys responded in 1857 to Brigham Young's call for church members to gather in Utah and again abandoned a new home, this the nicest one they had built, one of the finest houses in San Bernardino. Such unquestioning loyalty was a characteristic Caroline and Jonathan displayed again and again.

    Disaster At The Colorado (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Across north-central New Mexico and Arizona, along the line of Route 66, now Interstate 40, there first ran a little-known wagon trail called Beale's Wagon Road, after Edward F. Beale, who surveyed it for the War Department in 1857. This survey became famous for employing camels. Not so well known is the fate of the first emigrants who the next year attempted to follow its tracks. The government considered the 1857 exploration a success and the road it opened a promising alternative route to California but expected such things as military posts and developed water supplies to be needed before it was ready for regular travel. Army representatives in New Mexico were more enthusiastic. In 1858 there was a need for an alternative. Emigrants avoided the main California Trail because of a U.S. Army expedition to subdue Mormons in Utah. The Southern Route ran through Apache territory, was difficult for the army to guard, and was long. When a party of Missouri and Iowa emigrants known as the Rose-Baley wagon train arrived in Albuquerque, they were encouraged to be the first to try the new Beale road. Their journey became a rolling disaster. Beale's trail was more difficult to follow than expected; water sources and feed for livestock harder to find. Indians along the way had been described as peaceful, but the Hualapais persistently harassed the emigrants and shot their stock, and when the wagon train finally reached the Colorado River, a large party of Mojaves attacked them. Several of the emigrants were killed, and the remainder began a difficult retreat to Albuquerque. Their flight, with wounded companions and reduced supplies, became ever more arduous. Along the way they met other emigrant parties and convinced them to join the increasingly disorderly and distressed return journey. Charles Baley tells this dramatic story and discusses its aftermath, for the emigrants, for Beale's Wagon Road, and for the Mojaves, against whom some of the emigrants pressed legal claims with the federal government.

    Polygamy on the Pedernales (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In the wake of Joseph Smith Jr.'s murder in 1844, his following splintered, and some allied themselves with a maverick Mormon apostle, Lyman Wight. Sometimes called the "Wild Ram of Texas," Wight took his splinter group to frontier Texas, a destination to which Smith, before his murder, had considered moving his followers, who were increasingly unwelcome in the Midwest. He had instructed Wight to take a small band of church members from Wisconsin to establish a Texas colony that would prepare the ground for a mass migration of the membership. Having received these orders directly from Smith, Wight did not believe the former's death changed their significance. If anything, he felt all the more responsible for fulfilling what he believed was a prophet's intention. Antagonism with Brigham Young and the other LDS apostles grew, and Wight refused to join with them or move to their new gathering place in Utah. He and his small congregation pursued their own destiny, becoming an interesting component of the Texas frontier, where they had a significant economic role as early millers and cowboys and a political one as a buffer with the Comanches. Their social and religious practices shared many of the idiosyncracies of the larger Mormon sect, including polygamous marriages, temple rites, and economic cooperatives. Wight was a charismatic but authoritarian and increasingly odd figure, in part because of chemical addictions. His death in 1858 while leading his shrinking number of followers on yet one more migration brought an effective end to his independent church.

    Damming Grand Canyon (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In 1923, America paid close attention, via special radio broadcasts, newspaper headlines, and cover stories in popular magazines, as a government party descended the Colorado to survey Grand Canyon. Fifty years after John Wesley Powell's journey, the canyon still had an aura of mystery and extreme danger. At one point, the party was thought lost in a flood. Something important besides adventure was going on. Led by Claude Birdseye and including colorful characters such as early river-runner Emery Kolb, popular writer Lewis Freeman, and hydraulic engineer Eugene La Rue, the expedition not only made the first accurate survey of the river gorge but sought to decide the canyon's fate. The primary goal was to determine the best places to dam the Grand. With Boulder Dam not yet built, the USGS, especially La Rue, contested with the Bureau of Reclamation over how best to develop the Colorado River. The survey party played a major role in what was known and thought about Grand Canyon. The authors weave a narrative from the party's firsthand accounts and frame it with a thorough history of water politics and development and the Colorado River. The recommended dams were not built, but the survey both provided base data that stood the test of time and helped define Grand Canyon in the popular imagination.

    Description: The authors recount twelve millennia of history along the lower San Juan River, much of it the story of mostly unsuccessful human attempts to make a living from the river's arid and fickle environment. From the Anasazi to government dam builders, from Navajo to Mormon herders and farmers, from scientific explorers to busted miners, the San Juan has attracted more attention and fueled more hopes than such a remote, unpromising, and muddy stream would seem to merit.

    Old Deseret Live Stock Company (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In the high country of the northern Wasatch Mountains, lies what is left of one of the West's largest ranches. Deseret Live Stock Company was reputed at various times to be the largest private landholder in Utah and the single biggest producer of wool in the world. The ranch began as a sheep operation, but as it found success, it also ran cattle. Incorporated in the 1890s by a number of northern Utah ranchers who pooled their resources, the company was at the height of successful operations in the mid-twentieth century when a young Dean Frischknecht, bearing a recent degree in animal science, landed the job of sheep foreman. In his memoir he recounts in detail how Deseret managed huge herds of livestock, vast lands, and rich wildlife and recalls through lively anecdotes how stockmen and their families lived and worked in the Wasatch Mountains and Skull Valley's desert wintering grounds.

    Description: Jean Westwood called herself an unintentional pioneer. Although she worked hard to achieve what she did, she did not actively seek or expect to reach what was arguably the most powerful political position any American woman had ever held, chair of the national Democratic Party. A Utah national committeewoman and member of the reform committee that reorganized the party, Westwood answered George McGovern's call to lead his presidential campaign. In the dramatic year of 1972, she became "chairman" of the party, McGovern lost in a landslide, Nixon was reelected, and a covert operation burglarized Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate. Westwood provides an inside account of a period that reshaped national politics. Second-wave feminism-"women's liberation"-and the civil rights and antiwar movements opened the way. As a major player in political reform, Jean Westwood both helped build that road and traveled it.

    Rainbow Bridge (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: On the morning of August 14, 1909, a small, diverse group including Professor Byron Cummings of the University of Utah, Government Land Office surveyor William Douglass, pioneer archaeologist and trader John Weatherill, and Paiute guide Nasja Begay gazed at the largest structure of its kind in the world-Rainbow Bridge. Their presence marked the official discovery of the magnificent natural bridge, which spans 275 feet and towers 291 feet above the stream bed below it. Of the discovery party, only Nasja Begay had seen the stone arch before; he was one of a probably small number of Paiutes and Navajos, the true modern discoverers, who had visited it. In 1910, an executive order issued under the still fresh Antiquities Act created Rainbow Bridge National Monument, one of the first. This was only the beginning of the Rainbow Bridge historical record. Its fame was soon widespread, but for many years its visitors would be few, their numbers restricted by the long arduous trail around Navajo Mountain to the site. Those few and the tour guides and businesses that emerged to serve them, especially at Rainbow Lodge, were an interesting mix though. The bridge's story included such western figures as trader Louisa Weatherill, wife of John and a Navajo speaker who was the first Anglo to hear of the bridge; Barry Goldwater, who for a time owned and operated Rainbow Lodge; Zane Grey, who wrote about the bridge; and David Brower, the Sierra Club leader who got wrapped up in the intersection of the Rainbow Bridge story with that of Glen Canyon Dam. Its construction and the filling of Lake Powell behind it made Rainbow Bridge a battleground, key territory in the larger war over water and conservation in the West. The remote, hard to reach national monument was supposed to define a limit to Colorado River reclamation but instead was inundated by Lake Powell and the tide of visitors who then could reach the foot of the bridge by boat. Though Rainbow is now easily and frequently visited and National Park Service amenities are in place, access to Rainbow Bridge is still an evolving and controversial issue.

    Westwater Lost and Found (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In this heavily illustrated book, Mike Milligan has captured the still developing story of one of those remote, but no longer secluded, corners of the Colorado Plateau. Upstream from Moab on the Colorado River, near the Colorado state line, there is a relatively short, deep canyon that has become one of the most popular river-running destinations in America. The canyon is known as Westwater. Its popularity is largely due to the thrill provided by one of the most dangerous and challenging stretches of white water on the Colorado---Skull Rapid. Near the head of the canyon are the remnants of the tiny town of Westwater, which has had an interesting and eventful history of its own, partly because of the river and canyon, partly because of the railroad that passes through it, and partly because of its remoteness. It has attracted over the years more than its fair share of colorful characters---government explorers and agents, boosters and get-rich-quick dreamers, cattle and sheep men, outlaws and bootleggers, and, of course, river runners. Mike Milligan, who came to know the area as a river guide, has written a thorough history of this out-of-the-way place. While it has a colorful history that makes its story interesting in and of itself, Westwater's significance derives more from a phenomenon of the modern West-thousands of recreational river runners. They have pushed a backwater place into the foreground of modern popular culture in the West. Westwater seems to represent one common sequence in western history: the late opening of unexplored territories; sporadic, often unsuccessful attempts to develop them; renewed obscurity when development doesn't succeed; their attraction of a marginal society of misfits or loners; and modern rediscovery due to new cultural motives, especially outdoors recreation, which has brought a great number of people into thousands of remote corners of the West.

    One Side By Himself (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: "What an astonishing life and what a remarkable biography. Lewis Barney's sojourn on the hard edge of the American frontier is a forgotten epic. Not only does this book tell of an amazing personal odyssey from his birth in upstate New York in 1808 to his death in Mancos, Colorado, in 1894, but Barney's tale represents a living evocation of some of the most significant themes in American history. Frederick Jackson Turner theorized that the frontier shaped our national character, but Lewis Barney's life stands as a testament to the real impact of the westering experience on a man and his family. Ron Barney's detailed biography of Lewis Barney provides a participant's view of Mormonism's first six decades of controversy, hardship, and triumph, viewed from the bottom of the social heap. Despite his wide-ranging experience and endless sacrifices, Lewis Barney was a worker in the Mormon vineyard, not one of the princes of the Kingdom of God whose lives have been so exhaustively celebrated. Barney's lack of status in this complex hierarchy adds tremendously to the value of this study, since so much nineteenth-century LDS biography has ignored the lives of ordinary people to celebrate a surprisingly small elite whose experiences were far different from those of the general Mormon population." -Will Bagley, editor of the series Kingdom in the West: The Mormons and the American Frontier and editor of The Pioneer Camp of the Saints: The 1846-1847 Mormon Trail Journals of Thomas Bullock.

    Castle Valley America (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This is American history told through the stories of an atypical, for Utah, region. Castle Valley is roughly conterminous with two counties, Carbon and Emery, which together formed a rural, industrial enclave in a mostly desert environment behind the mountain range that borders Utah's principal corridor of settlement. In Castle Valley, coal mining and the railroad attracted diverse, multiethnic communities and a fair share of historic characters, from Butch Cassidy, who stole its largest payroll, to Mother Jones, who helped organize its workers against its mining companies. Among the last major segments of the state to be settled, it was also a generally poor region that stretched the capabilities of people to scratch a living from a harsh landscape. The people of Castle Valley experienced complex, unusual combinations of both social cohesion and conflict, but they struggled through poverty, labor disputes, major mining disasters, and other challenges to build communities whose stories reflected the historical course of the nation as a whole. In order to convey her subject's both unique and representative qualities, Nancy Taniguchi has written an epic history that is not just local history, but American history written locally. Nancy J. Taniguchi, who lived for thirteen years in Castle Valley and was previously on the faculty of the College of Eastern Utah in Price, is professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus. She is the author of numerous published articles in mining, legal, women's, western, and Utah history and of one book, Necessary Fraud: Progressive Reform and Utah Coal.

    Highway 12 (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Highway 12 is undoubtedly one of not only America's but the world's most scenic highways. From its intersection on the west with Highway 89 south of Panguitch, Utah, it runs up through Red Canyon onto the Paunsagunt Plateau and across Bryce Canyon National Park. It then drops into the Paria River Valley, passes through several tiny villages, crosses some extraordinary (for anywhere but this region) badlands, and descends the Escalante River into Potato Valley. While a driver may justifiably feel she has seen some scenery by that point, the highway is just getting started, for in the next stretch, it crosses a labyrinth of multicolored sandstone humps and corridors, climaxed by a narrow hogback with steep slickrock drops to each side, all within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Reaching the oasis of Boulder within this desert of rock, the road then climbs across the flank of the Aquarius Plateau, providing spectacular vistas and terminating at the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park. Along the way side roads and trails access the vast wilderness of the Paria and Escalante Rivers and the high plateaus they drain. Congress acknowledged the unequaled splendor of Highway 12 by designating it one of a handful of All-American Roads. To travel with Christian Probasco this road and its spurs, which lead deep into some of the wildest, most broken-up and stunning landscapes anywhere, can put a unique twist on an already singular experience. He knows the region as well as anyone and brings an original, edgy, youthful view to it. His opinions and his language may challenge you. His approaches to and perspectives on the land may sometimes surprise you. His understanding of the area's history and its people will likely teach you a thing or two.

    My Many Selves (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In his autobiography, My Many Selves, Wayne C. Booth is less concerned with his professional achievements---though the book by no means ignores his distinguished career---than with the personal vision that emerges from a long life lived thoughtfully. For Booth, even the autobiographical process becomes part of a quest to harmonize the diverse, often conflicting aspects of who he was. To see himself clearly and whole, he broke the self down, personified the fragments, uncovered their roots in his experience and background, and engaged those selves and experiences in dialogue. Basic to his story and to its lifelong concern with ethics and rhetoric was his Mormon youth in rural Utah. In adulthood he struggled with that background, abandoning most Mormon doctrines, but he retained the identity, ethical questions, and concern with communication that this upbringing gave him. The uncommon wisdom and careful attention that empower Wayne Booth's many other books cause My Many Selves to transcend its genre, as the best memoirs always do. The book becomes a window through which we who read it will see our own conflicts, our own ongoing struggle to live honestly and ethically in the world. Wayne Booth died in October 2005, soon after completing work on this autobiography.

    Hell Or High Water (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Although John Wesley Powell and party are usually given credit for the first river descent through the Grand Canyon, the ghost of James White has haunted those claims. White was a Colorado prospector, who, almost two years before Powell's journey, washed up on a makeshift raft at Callville, Nevada. His claim to have entered the Colorado above the San Juan River with another man (soon drowned) as they fled from Indians was widely disseminated and believed for a time, but Powell and his successors on the river publically discounted it. Colorado River runners and historians have since debated whether White's passage through Grand Canyon even could have happened. Hell or High Water is the first full account of White's story and how it became distorted and he disparaged over time. It is also a fascinating detective story, recounting how White's granddaughter, Eilean Adams, over decades and with the assistance of a couple of notable Colorado River historians who believed he could have done what he claimed, gradually uncovered the record of James White's adventure and put together a plausible narrative of how and why he ended up floating helplessly down a turbulent river, entrenched in massive cliffs, with nothing but a driftwood raft to carry him through.

    Route for the Overland Stage (2023)
    University Press of Colorado | Utah State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The 1859 exploration of the Great Basin by army topographical engineer James Simpson opened up one of the West's most important transportation and communication corridors, a vital link between the Pacific Coast and the rest of the nation. It became the route of the Pony Express and the Overland Mail and Stage, the line of the Pacific telegraph, a major wagon road for freighters and emigrants, and, later, the first transcontinental auto road, the Lincoln Highway, now Highway 50. No one has accurately tracked or mapped Simpson's original route, until now. Jesse Petersen shows in words, maps, and photos exactly where the explorer went. Sharing his detective-like reasoning as he walked or drove the entire trail west and Simpson's variant route returning east, Petersen takes readers on a mountain and desert trek through some of America's most remote and striking landscapes.

    Description: A follow-up to the highly successful Worth Their Salt, published in 1996, Worth Their Salt, Too brings together a new set of biographies of women whose roles in Utah's history have not been fully recognized, despite their significance to the social and cultural matrix, past and present, of the state. These women-community and government leaders, activists, artists, writers, scholars, politicians, and others-made important contributions to the state's history and culture. Some of them had experiences that reveal new aspects of the state's history, while others simply led lives so interesting that their stories beg to be told. This new collection demonstrates, as Worth Their Salt did, the diversity of Utah's society and the many different roles women have played in it.

    Maya Gods of War (2021)
    University Press of Colorado | University Press of Colorado
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Numerous archaeological projects have found substantial evidence of the military nature of Maya society, and warfare is a frequent theme of Maya art. Maya Gods of War investigates the Classic period Maya gods who were associated with weapons of war and the flint and obsidian from which those weapons were made. Author Karen Bassie-Sweet traces the semantic markers used to distinguish flint from other types of stone, surveys various types of Chahk thunderbolt deities and their relationship to flint weapons, and explores the connection between lightning and the ruling elite. Additional chapters review these fire and solar deities and their roles in Maya warfare and examine the nature and manifestations of the Central Mexican thunderbolt god Tlaloc, his incorporation into the Maya pantheon, and his identification with meteors and obsidian weapons. Finally, Bassie-Sweet addresses the characteristics of the deity God L, his role as an obsidian merchant god, and his close association with the ancient land route between the highland Guatemalan obsidian sources and the lowlands. Through analysis of the nature of the Teotihuacán deities and exploration of the ways in which these gods were introduced into the Maya region and incorporated into the Maya worldview, Maya Gods of War offers new insights into the relationship between warfare and religious beliefs in Mesoamerica. This significant work will be of interest to scholars of Maya religion and iconography.

    Description: This work compares the process and practice of nineteenth-century American and Russian internal colonization, a form of contiguous, continental expansion, imperialism and colonialism that incorporated indigenous lands and peoples. It provides a critical, comparative examination of internal colonization exercised by the United States and Russia and experienced by two indigenous populations, the Sioux and the Kazakhs. In particular, it examines how and why perceptions of the Sioux and Kazakhs as ostensibly uncivilized peoples, and similarly held American and Russian perceptions of the Northern Plains and the Kazakh Steppe as “uninhabited” regions that ought to be settled, reinforced American and Russian government sedentarization policies and land allotment programs among the Sioux and Kazakhs. In addition, it compares the processes practiced by the two empires and the various forms of Sioux and Kazakh martial, political, social and culture resistance evident throughout the 19th century.

    Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World explores the current trends in the social archaeology of human-animal relationships, focusing on the ways in which animals are used to structure, create, support, and even deconstruct social inequalities. The authors provide a global range of case studies from both New and Old World archaeology—royal Aztec dog burial, the monumental horse tombs of Central Asia, and the ceremonial macaw cages of ancient Mexico among them. They explore the complex relationships between people and animals in social, economic, political, and ritual contexts, incorporating animal remains from archaeological sites with artifacts, texts, and iconography to develop their interpretations. Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World presents new data and interpretations that reveal the role of animals, their products, and their symbolism in structuring social inequalities in the ancient world. The volume will be of interest to archaeologists, especially zooarchaeologists, and classical scholars of pre-modern civilizations and societies.  Contributors: Alejandra Aguirre Molina, Benjamin S.

    Ancient Households on the North Coast of Peru (2021)
    University Press of Colorado | University Press of Colorado
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Ancient Households on the North Coast of Peru provides insight into the organization of complex, urban, and state-level society in the region from a household perspective, using observations from diverse North Coast households to generate new understandings of broader social processes in and beyond Andean prehistory. Many volumes on this region are limited to one time period or civilization, often the Moche. While Ancient Households on the North Coast of Peru does examine the Moche, it offers a wider thematic approach to a broader swath of prehistory. Chapters on various time periods use a comparable scale of analysis to examine long-term continuity and change and draw on a large corpus of prior research on states, rulership, and cosmology to offer new insight into the intersection of household, community, and state. Contributors address social reproduction, construction and reinforcement of gender identities and social hierarchy, household permanence and resilience, and expression of identity through cuisine. This volume challenges common concepts of the “household” in archaeology by demonstrating the complexity and heterogeneity of household-level dynamics as they intersect with institutions at broader social scales and takes a comparative perspective on daily life within one region of the Andes. It will be of interest to both students and scholars of South American archaeology and household archaeology.  Contributors: Brian R. Billman, David Chicoine, Guy S. Duke, Hugo Ikehara, Giles Spence-Morrow, Jessica Ortiz, Edward Swenson, Kari A. Zobler

    Description: "The scholarship devoted to the complicity of German physicians in the Holocaust is rich and detailed, but there remains, as Michael Bryant demonstrates, still more to learn. It is well established that the techniques employed by the Nazis to exterminate Jews and others in concentration camps were first applied to people in state hospitals who were deemed mentally disabled or terminally ill. What has been less thoroughly investigated is the postwar response of both the Allies and the Germans to these atrocities. Bryant fills the gap with a systematic account of the judicial proceedings against those charged with killing the disabled." New England Journal of Medicine

    Multiproxy-Untersuchungen zur Paläoökologie und -hydrologie eines spätglazial- bis frühholozänen Flachsees im nordostdeutschen Küstengebiet (Glowe-Paläosee/Insel Rügen) (2016)

    Description: The paper presents results of multiproxy-investigations of a 3 m long sediment section from the Glowe Palaeolake, covering the period Pre-Bølling to the middle of the Preboreal. The Lateglacial and early Holocene landscape development comprising climate fluctuations, lake evolution, lake-level variations and vegetation history is reconstructed using pollen, diatom, macrofossil, molluscs as well as sedimentological and geochemical data based on 14C-dating. The palaeolake appeared due to the decay of the permafrost during the Bølling and developed in the Allerød into a 3–4 m deep, species-poor and macrophyte-rich stillwater. The submerse vegetation and fauna decreased during the Younger Dryas, but returned fast and with higher density in the Preboreal. Phases of cooler climate can be parallelized with the Gerzensee oscillation, the Younger Dryas and the Rammelbeek oscillation, which each are palynologically bipartite. In contrast, indications for the Older Dryas were only scarce. The cooler phases were characterized by intensified allochthonous clastic input into the lake. During the Younger Dryas the input was dominated by solifluction processes, while during the Allerød and the Preboreal predominantly fluvial processes occurred. The most significant changes in the palaeoecology of the lake were caused by the rapid warming at the onset of the Preboreal. During the phases of warmer climate the vegetation development was influenced by the vicinity to the Baltic Ice Lake, which caused – compared to more southerly regions – a delayed spread of Pinus. Also, the long term climate changes determined the alterations in the chemical sediment composition, the diatom flora and the macrophyte vegetation. Short term variations, which caused the closely spaced sediment layering mainly in the older part of the sediment section cannot be explained so far. The course of the outcropping stratigraphic units was used to construct a lake-level curve. It shows a rapid rise in the early Allerød and a subsequent slower rise until the highstand in the Younger Dryas. In the early Preboreal, a fast lake-level fall occurred, the palaeolake silted up and dried out in the middle of the Preboreal.

    Reconsidering the current stratigraphy of the Alpine Lateglacial (2016)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: The sedimentary and morphological evidence for Lateglacial glacier fluctuations in the Lienz area provides a strong case against the currently used pentapartite stratigraphic subdivision of the Alpine Lateglacial (ALG; c. 19–11.7 ka) i.e. the timespan between the Würmian Pleniglacial (= Alpine Last Glacial Maximum; AlpLGM) and the beginning of the Holocene. The results of comprehensive geological mapping (including the detection of mass movements) supported by geochronological data and pollen analysis revealed that the ALG- record of the Schobergruppe mountains and the Lienz Dolomites can be subdivided into four unconformity-bounded (allostratgraphic) units which are linked to three climatostratigraphically-defined phases of glacier activity. Delta deposits and till of local glaciers document the phase of ice-decay after the AlpLGM. Between this period and the Bølling/Allerød (B/A) interstadial only one glacier stabilisation with massive end moraines, correlated with the Gschnitz stadial, is evident. Multiple end moraines prove the presence of very active glacier tongues during the Younger Dryas aged Egesen stadial. The 10Be exposure dating of an end moraine, previously attributed to the Daun stadial (pre-B/A interstadial) based on ΔELA values, provided an age of 12.8 ± 0.6 ka indicating it is of Younger Dryas age. This case highlights the pitfalls of the commonly used ΔELA-based stratigraphic ALG subdivision and the subsequent derivation of palaeoclimatic implications. ΔELAs are still considered as a useful tool for correlation on the local scale e.g. in one mountain group with a quite comparable topography and lithology and taking into account the limitations, especially the impact of debris cover. However, our results show that a stratigraphic correlation across the whole Alpine chain via ΔELAs is not a successful approach potentially leading to bias and, eventually, to circular arguments.

    Moränen versus Till: Empfehlungen für die Beschreibung, Interpretation und Klassifikation glazialer Landformen und Sedimente (2016)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Internationally, the description and interpretation of glacial sediments and landforms largely follow a set of uniform guidelines and terminology. Sediments are normally described according to their lithofacies characteristics (e.g. diamicton, sorted sands), and only after closer inspection and investigation are genetic terms applied (e.g. till, glaciofluvial outwash). Mixing of sedimentological and geomorphological terminology does not occur. In German-speaking countries, however, the term moraine is used for glaciogenic sediments and landforms such as end moraines and also adopted for till plains (“ground moraine landscapes”, “old/young morainic landscapes” etc.). Similar traditions of the latter kind are sometimes found as a relict in Scandinavian texts, and an equally profound mixing of terms is found in much of the French literature. The authors argue here that this mixture not only leads to unnecessary confusion for students but also makes international communication more difficult, especially when the terminological inconsistencies are as extensive and non-systematic as in the German community at present. The present paper presents a systematic overview of the state-of-the-art of till terminology, thereby providing the necessary background information for a useful description and interpretation of field evidence for communicating results in German and hopefully aiding more efficient communication of German Quaternary geologists and geomorphologists internationally. The aim is to provide a sedimentological terminology that is in agreement with international standards and can readily be distinguished from geomorphological vocabulary. The authors recommend that usage of the term ground moraine, for example, is restricted to certain landform associations encountered in NW Central Europe, and excluded from use when discussing sediments. For primary glaciogenic sediments sensu stricto the term till should be used only where appropriate sedimentological evidence exists. A process-based subdivision of till types (e.g. deformation, lodgement till) is not useful in most cases, because as a community we do not have the tools to reliably distinguish such processes at a macro-scale. This recognition has led to the creation of the highly useful umbrella term subglacial traction till and its distinction from overridden primary sediments that are termed glaciotectonite. The present contribution translates the older terminology to the internationally-accepted terminology that follows the scientifically-robust approach of splitting descriptive terminology – based on a lithofacies approach (e.g. diamicton) – from the latter interpretative stage (e.g. subglacial traction till, debris flow deposit). The authors present translations of the different till schemes that have existed through time and link these to the current state of the art, citing several examples and clear diagnostic criteria to distinguish various types of diamictic sediments. This contribution stresses that the majority of diamictons encountered in glacial environments, especially in ice-marginal settings, are not usually and certainly not automatically subglacial traction tills.

    Environmental development and local human impact in the Jeetzel valley (N Germany) since 10 ka BP as detected by geoarchaeological analyses in a coupled aeolian and lacustrine sediment archive at Soven (2015)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: While archaeological records indicate an intensive Mesolithic occupation of dune areas situated along river valleys, relatively little knowledge exists about environmental interactions in the form of land-use strategies and their possible local impacts. The combination of geoarchaeological, chronological, geochemical and palaeoecological research methods and their application both on a Mesoltihic site situated on top of a dune and the adjacent palaeochannel sediments allows for a detailed reconstruction of the local environmental development around the Soven site in the Jeetzel valley (Northern Germany) since ~10.5 ka cal BP. Based on the results, we identified four phases that may be related to local human impact twice during the Mesolithic, the Neolithic and the Iron Ages and are discussed on the backdrop of the regional settlement history. Although nearby Mesolithic occupation is evident on archaeological grounds, the identification of synchronous impacts on the vegetation in the local environmental records remains tentative even in respect of the broad methodical spectrum applied. Vice versa, human impact is strongly indicated by palaeoecological and geochemical proxies during the Neolithic period, but cannot be connected to archaeological records in the area so far. A younger phase of human impact – probably consisting of seasonal livestock farming in the wetlands – is ascribed to the Iron Age economy and comprises local soil erosion, raised concentrations of phosphates and urease, and the facilitation of grazing related taxa.

    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Remarkable polygenetical structures were observed at a refinery rehabilitation site in Wedel/Holstein. The polygonal shaped, channel-like structures are incised in mid-Saalian clayey, chalk-rich till. They are symmetrically semicircular shaped and filled with calcareous, silty sands that can be interpreted as sandy reworked till with aeolian components. The width reaches from approx. 0.3 to 1.5 metres, the depth up to approx. 0.8 metres. Horizontal cracks up to more than 10 meters in lengths, occurring as narrow belts of sand with reddish colour, are often centrally aligned in the channel-like structures. The present-day red colour is not natural but related to pollution. These belts reach down to the bottom of the channel like structures. At the lower site of the channel-like structures glacitectonic fissures with a width up to a few centimetres were to be traced into a depth of several metres to the basis of the excavat ion. The genesis of the channel-like structures is discussed. e. g. a possible relation with the pre-existing glacitectonic joints resp. the expected periglacial paleohydrogeological setting.

    Chronostratigraphy of the Hochterrassen in the lower Lech valley (Northern Alpine Foreland) (2015)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Hochterrassen (High or Higher Terraces) are a prominent geomorphological feature of the Northern Alpine Foreland and have traditionally been attributed to the Rissian glaciation. However, distinct morphological sublevels observed for this feature have often raised the question of their age. This issue is exemplarily investigated here on the Langweider and Rainer Hochterrassen in the lower Lech valley using different relative and numerical dating techniques. The lowest sublevel, the Übergangsterrasse is only preserved in small patches at the western rim of the Rainer Hochterrasse and is most probably of early Würmian age. The sublevel of the Jüngere Hochterrasse is older than the Last Interglacial, as indicated by luminescence ages of overlying loess/palaeosol sequence and the development of a luvisol on top of the terrace gravel. This terrace is composed of stacked gravel units that represent at least two accumulation phases correlating with Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 for the top gravel and MIS 7 to MIS 10 (or older) for the basal gravel. It is not yet clear, if the deposition of the basal gravel unit corresponds to one or more aggradation phases during the Middle Pleistocene. The highest sublevel, the Ältere Hochterrasse also shows a compositon of two stacked gravel units but so far, no numerical ages have been achieved for these units.

    Late Pleistocene spotted hyena den sites and specialized rhinoceros scavengers in the karstified Zechstein areas of the Thuringian Mountains (Central Germany) (2015)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Crocuta crocuta spelaea (Goldfuss 1823) cranial and postcranial remains of the Pößneck region in the Zechstein Karst region of the Thuringian Mountains (Central Germany) were excavated historically in the Wüste Scheuer Cavity at Döbritz. Nearby, at the Krölpa gypsum karst open air site, additionally a woolly rhinoceros, partially scavenged by Ice Age spotted hyenas, was found. The amount at Wüste Scheuer Cavity includes chew damaged Coelodonta antiquitatis remains and is classified herein as communal den type. At both den/scavenging sites, only a small amount of prey material of Late Pleistocene megafauna of rare M. primigenius, mainly C. antiquitatis, E. c. przewalskii, and fewer B. priscus and R. tarandus was accumulated. The dominance of woolly rhinoceros, bison and Przewalski horse bones are typical for hyena bone assemblages in European low mountain regions, where mammoth was nearly absent as a result of topography. In the Thuringian Karst Mountains nine Late Pleistocene Ice Age spotted hyena den sites are identified. Solely hyena dens are present in Zechstein open air gypsum and limestone karstic regions of Bad Köstritz, Krölpa and Fuchsluken Cavities near Saalfeld. In the Wüste Scheuer their remains overlap with Middle Palaeolithic Neanderthal human camp sites, similar as in the Ilsen Cave at Ranis and Lindenthal Cave in Gera, which demonstrates competition for prey and shelter cavities. At such cave sites, bone remains were historically misinterpreted as „solely of Neanderthal human kitchen rubbish” or even as “bone tools” (e.g. “bone scrapers” = woolly rhinoceros tibia bones chewed by hyenas).

    Description: C/O-stable isotope composition (VPDB) of speleothems from the Makkaronihalle of the Hüttenbläserschacht Cave in Iserlohn shows a clear separation between glacial and interglacial calcites. In contrast to normal speleothems (stalagmites, excentriques, crystals in cave ponds, draperies; δ18O: –4.0 to –6.1 ‰, δ13C: –4.9 to –10.9 ‰), rhombohedral crystal sinter and spherulitic speleoparticles are characterised by lower δ18O (–8.9 to –17.9 ‰) and higher δ13C values (+0.7 to –6.1 ‰). This suggests that these speleogenetic particles were formed in slowly freezing waterpools on ice during the transition from a stadial to an interstadial phase. Precise 230Th/U-dating shows younger Weichselian ages of 28.6 to 33.0 ka for these speleogenetic particles from north-west Germany. These formation periods indicate freezing conditions overlain by 34 m of hostrock and provide the minimum depth of permafrost penetration for the younger Weichselian in the area of the northern Sauerland (north-west Germany).

    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: On the basis of the work done by Strahl et al. (1994), the mollusc specimens in the Late Saalian glacial and Eemian interglacial sediments from the cliff outcrop of Klein Klütz Höved (NW Mecklenburg) were re-examined and, in the process, a few vertebrates (fishes, micromammals) were also found. The mollusc specimens from the Late Saalian sand and mud alone comprise approximately 40 species among which terrestrial varieties, e.g. Succinella oblonga, Pupilla loessica, P. pratensis, Vallonia tenuilabris or Vertigo genesii, are clearly predominant as far as the number of individual specimens is concerned. Among the limnic varieties were also found the glacial index species Pisidium obtusale f. lapponicum and P. stewarti. It was also possible to prove the northern-most presence for Germany of the steppe lemming Lagurus lagurus in the Late Saalian. In the Eemian mud, the molluscs found were almost exclusively limnic. This about 20 species comprising fauna is characte-ristic of a river system with calmer areas, oxbow lakes and in-coming springs. These fluvial conditions were confirmed by the freshwater bivalves Pisidium amnicum, P. supinum, P. moitessierianum, P. ponderosum and Unio tumidus. For the first time in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, evidence was found of the spring snail Belgrandia germanica as an interglacial index species. The limnic-fluvial section of the Eemian is topped by a cryoturbate structures. Its sandy, gravelly pockets contain marine molluscs. The index species for the marine Eemian found in the southern Baltic region are Polititapes senescens and Bittium reticulatum.

    Bw horizon in Holocene slope deposits (Kratzeburg, NE Germany) – dating and pedological characteristics (2015)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: A soil-sediment sequence in NE Germany has provided information about the duration and intensity of formation of a Bw horizon in Holocene slope deposits. With a combination of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), 14C- and archaeological dating methods, colluvial layers taken from a former castle wall trench constructed during the Bronze Age were dated. With this chronology, the relative age of the postsedimentary Bw horizon formation within the colluvial sediments was derived, resulting in the first valid pedochronological data (maximum and minimum age) for a Holocene Bw horizon in NE Germany. The horizon was formed within 2400 years. Weathering and brunification have altered the Holocene parent material. However, the geochemical characteristics of the Holocene soil formation are weak compared to Bw horizons from the Late Glacial and the Late Glacial to Holocene. The results presented here enhance our understanding of soil formation processes in northern Germany, while highlighting the role of colluvial layers as sedimentological tracers of Holocene soil formation processes.

    Holocene Vegetation and Land Use History in the Northern Vosges (France) (2015)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: A radiocarbon-dated peat profile from Rond Pertuis supérieure mire in the uplands of the Northern Vosges is studied using palynological methods. The profile dates from the middle Atlantic period (4500–3100 B.C.) to recent times. During the middle of the Atlantic period an oak forest rich in pine covered the Northern Vosges. Fir and beech immigrated at the end of the Atlantic leading to the decline of oak and pine in the forest. This also marked the onset of decisive human influence on the development of the terrestrial vegetation. Five land use phases were detected, the first one at the end of the Neolithic period (~4000–2200 B.C.). Subsequently, continuous land use is evident from the Bronze Age (2200–800 B.C.) up to now. In the late Middle Ages (A.D. 900–1500) and the early Modern Era (since A.D. 1500), the woodlands were completely altered by human activities. During the 19th century modern forestry introduced spruce into the investigated area in the Northern Vosges. Spruce afforestation then accelerated in the middle of the 20th century.

    Driving mechanisms of Holocene lagoon development and barrier accretion in Northern Elis, Peloponnese, inferred from the sedimentary record of the Kotychi Lagoon (2014)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: As part of the lagoon barrier accretions plain characterizing the NW coast of the Peloponnese, the Kotychi Lagoon is believed to have formed in the prograding delta of the Palaeo-Peneus River over 7000 years ago. Geochemical/sedimentological proxies-data (XRF, grain size, OC-, IC-, C/N-analysis) combined with Bayesian age-depth-modeling revealed that from 8500 to 8000 cal BP marine conditions were prevailing. Around 8000 cal BP, a short-lived sequence of coastline progradation and barrier accretion created lagoonal conditions. Thus, the first chronological control for the onset of lagoon formation in coastal Elis is presented. Pronounced lagoonal conditions developed approximately 6300 cal BP, simultaneously to the period of circum-Mediterranean lagoon formation. A rapidly varying sedimentary record indicates a phase of geomorphological instability between 5200 and 3500 cal BP terminating with the erosional unconformity of a river channel. This evolution reflects a two-phase development: (1) Early Holocene morphology was controlled by the postglacial sea level rise; (2) with receding of the ice sheets by mid-Holocene, the preeminent role of the eustatic signal was overwhelmed giving local and regional processes, such as human-induced soil erosion and climatic forcing an accentuated role. Thus, the evolution of the Elean coastline shows analogies to circum-Mediterranean lagoon formation.

    Description: In the glaciation history of Switzerland (Preusser, Graf, Keller, Krayss & Schlüchter 2011) is shown that two (possibly three) older glacials had happened before the well known glacials Würm = Birrfeld and Riss = Beringen. These are the Habsburg- and the Möhlin-Glacials. In this paper selected key regions in Southern Germany are analysed litho- and morphostratigraphically. This analysis enables us to find the two older glacials proved also at the Rhine Glacier. The period of the „Deckenschotter“-glaciations is followed by a time of striking fluvial erosion (MPR = Middle Pleistocene Reorganisation) in the region of Lake Constance. It is demonstrated that the glaciers of the subsequent Middle Pleistocene glacials exarated the overdeepened Lake Constance basin. The oldest of these „Becken-Glacials“ is named „Größtes Rheinisches Glazial“ (GRG) = Möhlin in the northern part of Switzerland. It corresponds to the Hosskirch introduced by Ellwanger (2003). In the northern Rhine Glacier region the most external glacial deposits belong to this glaciation. Earlier in the northwestern part these deposits are interpreted as Riss-Glacial, but in the northeast as Mindel-Glacial. The GRG evidently must be older than Riss, but younger than the „Younger Deckenschotter“. Therefore Mindel in the northeastern region would be a Becken-Glacial. In the northern part of Switzerland the Habsburg-Glacial nearly reached the extension of the Würm-Glacial. In the region of the Rhine Glacier references and/or indications of the Habsburg-Glacial could be found in a band width corresponding to the Würm, but outside it as well. In the northern region of the Rhine Glacier this vast glaciation has not been discovered up to now because the subsequent glacials Riss and Würm mainly destroyed its relics. To classify the „Greatest Rhine Glacial“ GRG as well as the Habsburg-Glacial chronologically interpolated interglacials with time marks can be applied: IG Unterpfauzenwald – GRG – IG Holstein – Habsburg – IG Meikirch – Riss – IG Eem. Accordingly a temporal classification for the glacials results as follows: (GRG) +350 ka BP (MIS 10), Habsburg +250 ka BP (MIS 8), Riss +150 ka BP (MIS 6).

    Holotype skulls, stratigraphy, bone taphonomy and excavation history in the Zoolithen Cave and new theory about Esper’s “great deluge” (2014)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: The Zoolithen Cave, in the Wiesent River Valley of Upper Franconia, Bavaria, South Germany, has a very long excavation history. The site is of international paleobiological importance as the Type site for five Pleistocene top predators (cave bear, Ice Age hyena, lion, wolf, dhole). This large cave system has developed in three elevations and preserves three fluvial sedimentary sequences including two speleothem genesis phases representing changing ponor, dry and wet stages from the Oligocene/Miocene (Neogene), over the Pliocene/Early Pleistocene to Late Pleistocene. The cave bear Ursus deningeri used the cave as den during the MIS 6–9 (Holsteinian interglacial-Saalian glacial). Single P4 tooth and skull shape analyses (“= cave bear clock”) date different cave bear species (U. spelaeus eremus/spelaeus, U. ingressus) within the Late Pleistocene (MIS 3–5d). Finally the bones of other Pleistocene megamammals were washed from two former cave entrances at elevations of about 455 m a.s.l. up to 30 meters deep into lower elevation cave parts, during the Last Glacial Maximum (Post-U. deningeri times or Postglacial), -historically believed to be the result of the “great deluge”. The young “river terrace dolomite gravels” which occur as relic sediments at elevations of about 455 a.s.l in several caves around Muggendorf cannot be explained by natural erosion/river terrace stratigraphy, and must relate to an uncertain glacial context. Finally Iron Age (La Tène) humans left secondary burials (human skulls and long bones with pottery and after-life food animal donations) only in the first deep vertical shaft (Aufzugsschacht) similar to the situation in the nearby Esper’s Cave.

    Ice-Rafted Erratics and Bergmounds from Pleistocene Outburst Floods, Rattlesnake Mountain, Washington, USA (2014)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Exotic ice-rafted debris from the breakup of ice-dammed glacial lakes Missoula and Columbia is common in slackwater areas along the 1,100-km route for outburst floods in the northwestern US. A detailed analysis was performed at Rattlesnake Mountain, which lay beyond the limit of the former ice sheet, where an exceptionally high concentration of ice-rafted debris exists midway along the floods’ path. Here floodwaters temporarily rose to 380 m elevation (forming short-lived Lake Lewis) behind the first substantial hydraulic constriction for the outburst floods near Wallula Gap. Within the 60 km2 study area more than 2,100 erratic isolates and clusters, as well as bergmounds were recorded. Three quarters of erratic boulders are of an exotic granitic composition, which stand in stark contrast to dark Columbia River basalt, the sole bedrock in the region. Other exotics include Proterozoic quartzite and argillite as well as gneiss, diorite, schist and gabbro, all once in direct contact with the Cordilleran Ice Sheet to the north. Most ice-rafted debris is concentrated between 200 and 300 m elevation. Far fewer erratics and bergmounds lie above 300 m elevation because of the preponderance of less-than-maximum floods. Plus, larger deep-rooted icebergs were forced to ground farther away from the ancient shorelines of transient Lake Lewis. As floodwaters moved across the uneven surface of Rattlesnake Mountain, many erratic-bearing icebergs congregated into pre-existing gullies that trend crosswise to flood flow.

    Rhine loess at Schwalbenberg II — MIS 4 and 3 (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Die Lokalität Schwalbenberg bei Remagen am Mittelrhein erschließt ein sehr vollständiges Profil durch den letztglazialen Löss mit drei Großgliedern. Gut gegliedert sind der Löss der Keldach-Formation (Früh-Weichsel/Würm-Hochglazial, MIS 4) mit einem Interstadial-Boden und der Löss der Ahrgau-Formation (Mittelweichsel/-Würm-Interstadial-Komplex, MIS 3) mit acht Interstadial-Böden. Den Abschluss nach oben bildet weniger gut gliederbarer Löss des Jung-Weichsel/Würm-Hochglazials. Zu bereits veröffentlichten organischen Kohlenstoff (Corg)- und Phosphor-Kurven einer ersten Profilaufnahme, Schwalbenberg I, präsentiert dieser Text Daten des Profils Schwalbenberg II: AMS 14C-Datierungen, Korngrößen, Corg- und Karbonatgehalt. Die Korngrößen spiegeln die Dreigliederung wider mit Grobsilt-ärmerem Keldach-Löss, schwankendem Siltgehalt im Ahrgau-Löss und Grobsilt-reicherem Jungwürmlöss. Auch im Karbonatgehalt spiegelt sie sich mit Karbonat-ärmerem Keldach-Löss, schwankenden Gehalten im Ahrgau-Löss und Karbonat-reicherem Jungwürmlöss. Die neun interstadialen Böden erweisen sich durch Corg-Gipfel und Karbonat-Minima vereinigt mit pedogener Zonierung bodenintern von oben nach unten als autochthone Böden. Alle Nassböden zeigen Karbonatmaxima. Der Vergleich der Corg-Kurve mit der der δ18O-Kurve des jahrring-zonierten grönländischen Eiskerns GISP 2 zeigt für die Ahrgau-Formation – wie früher schon die Kurven vom Schwalbenberg I – erneut nach Kurvenrhythmik und Magnitude hohe Gleichläufigkeit des Klimaverlaufes zu den Grönland-Interstadialen 17 bis 5. Nummerische Daten vom Schwalbenberg II unterstützen das weitgehend. Zur Frage, ob die Grenze Mittel-/Oberwürm (MIS 3/MIS 2) nach dem obersten braunen Boden (Sinzig 3-Boden) oder wenig höher mit der Hesbaye-Diskordanz zu ziehen ist, sprechen die meisten lithologischen und die chronologischen Kriterien für die Grenzziehung an der Hesbaye-Diskordanz. Ansonsten ist der Schwalbenberg unter den gut vergleichbaren Lössprofilen im westlichen Europa bisher das am detailliertesten gegliederte MIS 3-Profil. Reicher gegliedert sind nur Lössprofile des kontinentaler geprägten Raumes in der nordöstlichen Karpatenregion und in Sibirien.

    Sediment imprint of the severe 2002 summer flood in the Lehnmühle reservoir, eastern Erzgebirge (Germany) (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Anhand von 18 Kurzkernen aus der Talsperre Lehnmühle (Inbetriebnahme 1932) im Osterzgebirge (Deutschland) wurden mittels mikrofaziellen und hochauflösenden μ-XRF Scanning Verfahren Auswirkungen des extremen Augusthochwassers 2002 auf den Sedimenteintrag untersucht. Fast über den gesamten Talsperrenboden hinweg wurde eine für die gesamte Sedimentsequenz einmalig markante detritische Lage detektiert, welche eine Mächtigkeit von 5 mm an der Staumauer bis 33 mm nahe dem Zufluss misst. Die eingetragene Sedimentmenge dieser Lage wird auf ca. 2.400 Tonnen geschätzt, wovon etwa zwei Drittel im südlich-zentralen Teil des Beckens (ca. 32 % der Gesamtfläche) abgelagert wurden, begründet durch die Beckenmorphologie und die Lage zum Zufluss. Feine Silt- und Tonpartikel wurden dagegen vornehmlich weiter in Richtung Staumauer transportiert, forciert durch eine ständige Wasserströmung durch das Staubecken. Eine erhöhte Akkumulation von detritischem Material in einer seitlichen Bucht zeigt, dass Sedimente nicht nur durch den Hauptzufluss eingetragen wurden, sondern ebenfalls durch Oberflächenabfluss in nicht ständig wasserführenden Rinnen um die Talsperre herum. Neben der markanten Lage des Jahres 2002, wurden 22 weitere, mikroskopisch dünne detritische Lagen in den Sedimentkernen nachgewiesen, die meisten im Profundalbereich nahe der Staumauer. Eine Chronologie der detritischen Lagen wurde an drei 137Cs datierten Kernsequenzen erstellt und durch detaillierte Korrelation mittels vier lithologischer Marker auf die übrigen Kerne übertragen. Der Vergleich mit instrumentellen Abflussdaten des Hauptzuflusses zeigt, dass während der letzten drei Jahrzehnte 64 % von insgesamt 22 Hochwasserereignissen mit einem Tagesabfluss 〉 8 m3s-1 in die Ablagerung von detritischem Material resultierten.

    Effects of deglacial sedimentation pulse, followed by incision: A case study from a catchment in the Northern Calcareous Alps (Austria). (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Im Einzugsgebiet des ‘Giessenbaches’ (Nördliche Kalkalpen, NKA) lagerte sich eine mächtige Sedimentabfolge während bis wenig nach dem Zerfall des hochglazialen Eispanzers ab. Das Einzugsgebiet liegt auf gestörten, geklüfteten triassischen Dolomitgesteinen. Die quartäre Abfolge besteht aus, (a) aufgearbeitetem Till mit Leitgeschieben des Letzten Glazialen Maximums (LGM), (b) alluvialen Kiesen, die vom Dolomitgesteins-Untergrund gespeist wurden, (c) Decklagen von Flusssedimenten auf Terrassen, und (d) grossen Schutthalden. Die ehemalige (Vor-LGM) obere Hälfte des Giessenbach-Laufs ist noch heute ein trockenes, erhöhtes Tal das wesentlich durch spätglaziale bis holozäne Sedimente verfüllt ist. Der heutige Giessenbach zeigt ein konvexes Längsprofil mit einer Klamm im Unterlauf; diese Klamm war wahrscheinlich teilweise durch Toteis versperrt während die Sedimentation der Eiszerfallsphase bereits eingesetzt hatte. Außer glazial überformten Felsflächen und ehemaligen Nunatakkern ist die heutige Morphologie des Einzugsgebiets im wesentlichen bestimmt durch (a) einen ‚Schub‘ sehr rascher Sedimentation vom Eiszerfall bis ins ?frühe Spätglazial, gefolgt von (b) Hangstabilisierung durch Bewachsung, und Einschneiden von Gerinnen. Die rasche Sedimentation wurde durch den Untergrund aus tektonisch verformtem Dolomitgestein gefördert, das unter reichlicher Schuttbildung abwittert. Ähnliche Verläufe von rapider Sedimentation vom Eiszerfall bis zum Spätglazial hin zu einem längeren Zeitabschnitt vorwiegend mit Einschneiden von Gerinnen sind in den NKA weit verbreitet.

    Zur Struktur von Eskern in Schleswig-Holstein, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des „Esker-Kames-Systems Forst Steinburg“ in morphologischer Hochlage (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Die unterschiedlichen Esker-Formen Schleswig-Holsteins wurden für das Geotop-Kataster des Landes mittels Literatur- und Feldarbeiten neu bearbeitet: Esker i.e.S., Aufpressungs-Esker mit Kern aus Geschiebemergel oder Beckensedimenten, Perlenschnur-Esker, Till-bedeckte Esker, sich kreuzend überlagernde Esker, verwachsen- und getrennt-parallele Esker-Rücken sowie Esker mit und ohne begleitende Rinnenbildungen. Esker sind häufig räumlich vergesellschaftet bzw. genetisch verflochten mit Drumlins oder drumlinoiden Formen, angrenzenden Aufpressungsstrukturen aus Till, Eisrandlagen, Kames-Bildungen oder Toteis-Bereichen. Im Detail wird ein „Esker-Kames-System“ dargestellt, welches dem Scheitelbereich einer großen Eisrandlage mit örtlich +85 m NHN Höhe aufgesetzt ist. Die morphologisch als Kiessand-Rücken erkennbare Gesamtstruktur sattelt einem aufgewölbten, sandig-kiesigen Bereich auf. Die Struktur kann in drei Teile untergliedert werden: (A) einen flacheren, deutlich durch parallele Einzelstrukturen gegliederten westlichen Bereich (Esker), (B) einen zentralen, hohen Kiessand-Rücken (Esker oder Spaltenfüllung) sowie (C) kuppenförmige Bereiche am Südostende der Struktur (Kames). Die Esker-Struktur (A) zeigt neben einem zentralen, großen Kiessand-Rücken mit 70 m Breite, einer Höhe von ca. 8–10 m und einer Länge von ca. 220 m (mit Till bedeckter-Esker) zwei parallele kleinere Esker-Rücken, die südlich des großen verlaufen. Die Genese der Esker-Kames-Struktur in Randlagen-Top-Position wird diskutiert.

    The Late Weichselian to Holocene succession of the Niedersee (Rügen, Baltic Sea) – new results based on multi-proxy studies (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Eine klassische weichselspätglaziale Lokalität ist die kleine Toteishohlform des Niedersees, welche direkt an der südöstlichen Küste der Halbinsel Jasmund (Rügen, Ostsee) aufgeschlossen ist. Neue Studien wurden durchgeführt, bei denen sich die sedimentäre Abfolge des Niedersees als ein hervorragendes Archiv für paläoökologische/-klimatische Rekonstruktionen erwies, wodurch detaillierte Aussagen zur regionalen Vegetationsgeschichte sowie zum regionalen Klima und Milieu während des Weichselspätglazials und auch teilweise für das Holozäns möglich sind. Mit Hilfe der Pollenstratigraphie, AMS 14C-Datierungen und dem Nachweis der Laacher See Tephra konnte die sedimentäre Abfolge in die bestehende Quartärstratigraphie eingehängt werden; als Besonderheit ist hier das quasi gesamte Weichselspätglazial vollständig aufgeschlossen. Die Sedimentation beginnt schon im ausgehenden Weichselhochglazial und dauert zunächst bis zum Präboreal an (~15.000–~10.000 Jahre v. H.) und ist vor allem durch Ablagerungen eines kleinen, flachen Sees charakterisiert. Änderungen im Wasserhaushalt führten letztendlich während des Präboreals zu einem Hiatus. Eine letztmalige Vernässung des Standorts führte im Atlantikum zur Entwicklung eines kalkigen Niedermoors. Die sich ergänzenden Analysen der verschiedenen und vielfältigen Organismenreste des Niedersees (z. B. Pollen, Ostracoden, Mollusken, Makroreste von Pflanzen etc.), erlaubten in sehr detaillierter Weise Änderungen im Klima und deren Auswirkungen auf das Habitat zu erfassen.

    Stratigraphy of Late Quaternary fluvial terraces at the confluence of the Lech and Danube valleys (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Gegenstand dieser Studie ist die würm-spätglaziale und holozäne Talentwicklung am Zusammenfluss von Lech und Donau im Nördlichen Alpenvorland. Die morphologischen Formen im Untersuchungsgebiet wurden mit Hilfe von Geländekartierungen und digitalen Geländemodellen aufgenommen. Die Ablagerungen beider Flüsse wurden in zahlreichen Aufschlüssen untersucht und deren Alter mit Radiokarbon- sowie Lumineszenzdatierungen bestimmt. Daneben wurden auch archäologische Daten und historische Karten genutzt, um die Altersstellung der einzelnen Terrassen einzugrenzen. Im Untersuchungsgebiet bildet eine spätglaziale Niederterrasse die älteste Flussterrasse innerhalb des Talbodens, die allerdings nur im Donautal unterhalb der Lechmündung erhalten ist. In beiden Tälern sind präboreale bis boreale Terrassenflächen nur kleinräumig verbreitet, während ein Sockelschotter gleichen Alters weiträumig unter jüngeren Ablagerungen anzutreffen ist. Atlantische Flussbettablagerungen sind im Untersuchungsgebiet nicht zu finden. Dagegen dominieren subboreale und subatlantische Terrassen das Lechmündungsgebiet. Die heutigen Flussläufe von Lech und Donau werden von bis zu sechs subatlantischen Terrassen begleitet. Deren Verbreitung und morphologisches Erscheinungsbild verweist im Donautal oberhalb der Lechmündung auf einen mäandrierenden Flusslauf, die der jüngsten Lechterrasse auf ein verzweigtes Gerinnebettmuster. Unterhalb der Lechmündung treten dagegen Übergangsformen beider Flussgrundrisstypen auf.

    Zwei markante Stauchmoränen: Peski/Belorussland und Jasmund, Ostseeinsel Rügen/Nordostdeutschland - Gemeinsame Merkmale und Unterschiede (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Strukturen, Architektur und Genese der Stauchmoräne Peski/ Belorussland werden beschrieben und mit der Stauchmoräne Jasmund/Rügen verglichen. In beiden Stauchmoränen sind Oberkreide- und Pleistozänfolgen, bei Peski zusätzlich tertiäre Sande, glazigen gefaltet und verschuppt worden. Die Falten und Schuppen gleichen sich in beiden Stauchzonen in den Formen und Ausmaßen weitgehend. In ihrer Architektur unterscheiden sich beide Großstrukturen jedoch prinzipiell voneinander: Bei Peski ist eine bogenförmige Stauchzone an der Stirn eines ausgedehnten Eislobus entstanden; auf Jasmund ist der Eisstrom, der der Ostseesenke gefolgt war, durch ein höher liegendes Areal zweigeteilt worden und hat dieses samt den ersten Stauchwällen zunächst umflossen. Hier ist die Stauchung von den Flanken zweier Eiszungen ausgegangen. Der Interpretation als einer spitzwinkligen Kerbstauchung wird die Vorstellung einer in der Anlage schlingenförmig gerafften Stauchung gegenübergestellt, die später vom Eis überprägt worden ist. Die Lagebeziehungen beider Stauchmoränen zu den Bruchstrukturen im präquartären Untergrund der Region und zu deren neotektonischen Mobilität werden diskutiert. Die glazigene Stauchung bei Peski wird dem Sosch-(Warthe-)eis zugeschrieben, die auf Jasmund der Weichselvereisung. Beide Stauchungen sind nach dem Höhepunkt einer Vereisung, nach der maximalen Eisausbreitung, erfolgt. Diese rückläufigen Kälteperioden boten besonders günstige Voraussetzungen für Einwirkungen des Inlandeises auf den Untergrund.

    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: In Petäjäselka (Nord-Finnland) wurde ein geschichtetes Sedimentpaket mit einer zwischengeschalteten Organiklage nachgewiesen, welches in Till der Grundmoräne eingebettet war. Die Grundmoräne hatte eine Mächtigkeit von 3 m und wurde von einem Moor überlagert. Durch Rammkernbohrungen war dann eine 1–15 cm mächtige Organiklage nachweisbar, die in Tiefen von 5.5–6.0 m jeweils in Sanden eingebettet war. Der organische Horizont ist durch eine Pinus-Betula-Gemeinschaft und ein absolutes Alter von 35,300 ± 600 BP (14C) gekennzeichnet. Die unterlagernden Sande wurden an zwei Lokalitäten per OSL auf Alter von 72.6 ± 21.3 ka und 58.1 ± 17.0 ka datiert. Für den überlagernden Sand wurde per OSL an einer der Lokalitäten ein Alter von 31.8 ± 5.6 ka bestimmt. Den Datierungsergebnissen zufolge repräsentieren die in den Till eingebetten Sande mit dem Organikhorizont ein Interstadial des Mittel-Weichsel. Desweiteren lässt sich daraus für Nord-Finnland eine eisfreie Phase während des Mittel-Weichsels im Zentrum des Skandinavischen Eisschildes ableiten.

    Casting new light on the chronology of the loess/paleosol sequences in Lower Austria (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-07
    Description: Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über neu datierte Abschnitte in bekannten Löss/Paläoboden-Sequenzen Niederösterreichs. Die Ergebnisse der Datierungen im Profil Joching deuten darauf hin, dass es im letzten Hochglazial zur Lösssedimentation kam. Die meisten erfassten Alter sind jedoch älter als das letzte Hochglazial, was auf Erosionsprozesse hindeutet, die zur Abtragung der jüngeren Lösse geführt hat. In dem Abschnitt zwischen ~28 ka and ~35 ka wurden überwiegend Tundragleye gebildet. Eine intensivere interstadiale Bodenbildung ist nicht nachzuweisen. Dieses Ergebnis kann auch für die stratigraphische Einstufung von ‚Stillfried B‘ (sensu Fink) von Bedeutung sein. Der folgende chronologische Abschnitt liegt zwischen ~35 ka and ~57 ka in Lösssedimenten mit eingeschalteten Tundragleyen. Auch dieser Abschnitt ist durch Umlagerungsprozesse charakterisiert. Im Zeitraum von ~57 ka bis ~106 ka befindet sich eine markante Zeitlücke, die vermutlich auf langandauernde und intensive Erosionsprozesse im Untersuchungsgebiet zurückzuführen ist. Die älteste Datierung in den Sedimenten des letzten Glazials mit 106 ± 12 ka befindet sich in Paudorf direkt über dem ‚Stillfried A‘- Komplex (Paudorfer Bodenbildung). Direkt unter diesem Pedokomplex, bzw. vergleichbaren Pedokomplexen treten in Lössablagerungen Alter von 124 ± 2 5 ka (Göttweig-Aigen), 159 ± 20 ka (Paudorf 1), and 170 ± 16 ka (Joching) auf. Darüber hinausgehende Alter konnten in Stratzing, Paudorf 2, Göttweig-Furth und Langenlois nachgewiesen werden.

    Geoarchaeological evidence of Holocene human impact and soil erosion on a till plain in Vorpommern (Kühlenhagen, NE-Germany) (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Geoarchäologische Untersuchungen im Bereich eines glazigenen Solls verweisen auf den holozänen menschlichen Einfluss auf einer Grundmoränenplatte in Vorpommern in prähistorischer und historischer Zeit sowie dessen geomorphologische Rückkopplung. Die basale sedimentäre Füllung der untersuchten Depression besteht aus Torf, Mudde und Verlandungstorf und spiegelt früh- bis mittelholozäne hydrologische Schwankungen wider. Die obere Sequenz von wechselnden Kolluvien und organogenen Schichten deutet auf einen variierenden menschlichen Einfluss im Laufe der Zeit hin. Absolute AMS 14C-Datierungen von begrabenen Torfen und Mineralbodenhorizonten mit zum Teil erhöhten Anteilen organischer Substanz, abgesichert durch palynologische und archäologische Daten, belegen zwischenzeitliche Phasen von Oberflächenstabilität. Hingegen reflektieren die kolluvialen Sande Phasen erhöhter prähistorischer und historischer Besiedlung und Landnutzung. Die Sande können zum einen relativ durch die organogenen Schichten datiert und zum anderen zu den benachbarten archäologischen Funden in Beziehung gebracht werden. Erhöhte Erosionsprozesse werden demnach in das späte Neolithikum, den Übergang späte Bronzezeit zur frühen Eisenzeit, das Mittelalter und letztendlich in die Moderne gestellt. Die Akkumulation des jüngsten Kolluviums führt im Randbereich des Solls zur völligen Verfüllung bis an die rezente Oberfläche.

    Quaternary Stratigraphy of Southern Bavaria (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-07
    Description: Eine Übersicht der aktuellen stratigraphischen Bezeichnungen für die quartäre Schichtenfolge Südbayerns wird gegeben, wie sie am Geologischen Dienst des Bayerischen Landesamts für Umwelt in Verwendung ist. Unterschiedliche stratigraphische Gliederungsansätze für kontinentale Quartärablagerungen werden vorgestellt und die klimatostratigraphische Einteilung sowie die Terrassenstratigraphie als in Bayern meistverwendete Varianten näher ausgeführt. Die Beschreibung der zugehörigen, bisher informellen Einheiten bezweckt eine Dokumentation des jeweiligen Stands der Verwendung und kann womöglich formelle Definitionen vorbereiten. Die klimatostratigraphischen Einheiten sollen den gesamten Zeitraum des Quartärs lückenlos abdecken und vertreten derzeit Überregionale, formelle Stufenbezeichnungen. In Bayern wird weiterhin die klassische Gliederung nach Penck & Brückner (1901–1909) mit ihren Erweiterungen verwendet. Neue Erkenntnisse über eine stärkere Gliederung des Eiszeitalters durch untergeordnete Kalt- und Warmphasen werden in dieses System integriert. Für diese Gliederung des Quartärs in Südbayern ausschlaggebend sind zum Einen die Terrassentreppen, deren zeitliche Interpretation eine Grundlage der sogenannten Morphostratigraphie bildet. Die zweite Grundlage bilden Endmoränengirlanden, die mit den davon ausgehenden Terrassen glazial-glazifluviale Sequenzen (‚Glaziale Serien’) bilden. Neben der ausführlichen Dokumentation der Terrassen-Einheiten, werden deshalb auch verschiedene Endmoränen-Gliederungen vorgestellt. Weitere Nomenklaturen, die auf anderen Kriterien beruhen oder zu anderen chronologischen Einstufungen gelangen, sind für Bayern oder in den angrenzenden Ländern in Gebrauch. Auch die beschriebenen stratigraphischen Gliederungen werden nicht von allen Bearbeitern in gleicher Weise verwendet. Die Dokumentation der derzeitigen Verwendung soll eine Abstimmung dieser Nomenklaturen im Interesse der Nutzer fördern.

    An Outline of the Quaternary Stratigraphy of Austria (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-07
    Description: Es wird ein Überblick über die in Österreich verwendete Quartär-Stratigraphie gegeben. Die stratigraphische Gliederung der kartierbaren Sedimenteinheiten basiert teilweise auf Kriterien der Lithostratigraphie (lithologischer Eigenschaften) und jenen der Allostratigraphie (z.B. Diskonitinuitäten). Für das Altpleistozän (2.58–0.78 Ma) fehlen bis jetzt Spuren einer Vergletscherung. Die wenigen und isolierten Sedimentvorkommen belegen fluviatile Akkumulation und Lössablagerung in der Umgebung der Flüsse. Paläomagnetisch korrelierte Löss-Paläoboden – Sequenzen wie das Profil Stranzendorf mit der Gauss/Matuyama – Grenze bzw. Neogen/Quartär – Grenze dokumentieren in Übereinstimmung mit den globalen δ18O Werten etwas wärmere Bedingungen als im Mittelpleistozän (0.78–0.13 Ma). Vier Großvergletscherungen (Günz, Mindel, Riß und Würm) sind für Mittelpleistozän und Jungpleistozän belegt. Diese sind mit Sedimenten aus der Vorstoßphase überlagert von Grundmoräne, Endmoränen im Alpenvorland und damit verknüpfte Terrassenschüttungen sowie Lössakkumulation dokumentiert. Daraus ist die klimagesteuerte Sedimentation im Zusammenhang mit dem Vorstoß der Gletscher, der Ausbreitung des Permafrostes und der Frostschuttbildung bis ins Vorland erkennbar. Die jüngsten Großvergletscherungen Riß und Würm werden aufgrund geochronologischer Daten mit den Marinen Isotopenstufen (MIS) 6 und 2 korreliert. Für Günz und Mindel scheint eine Gleichzeitigkeit mit den Phasen massiver globaler Klimaverschlechterung während MIS 16 und MIS 12 plausibel. Dokumente für die schwächeren Glaziale wurden bisher nur in Lössprofilen (z.B. Krems Schießstätte) gefunden.

    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Anhand zweier Profile aus dem Niederrheingebiet wird die Komplexität der Genese und Chronologie letztinterglazialer bis früh-weichselzeitlicher Löss-Paläoboden-Sequenzen diskutiert. Die untersuchten Profile wurden in den Braunkohletagebauen Inden und Garzweiler aufgenommen und sind mit mittelpaläolithischen Fundkomplexen verknüpft. Erstmalig werden dabei Multi-Element-Analysen neben Lumineszenz-Datierungen an Quarzen (ITL, OSL) aus niederrheinischen Lössprofilen vorgestellt und diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse offenbaren große Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich einer stratigraphischen und paläoklimatischen Interpretation von polygenetisch uüberprägten Sediment- und Paläobodensequenzen. Eine bedeutende Rolle nimmt dabei auch die Reliefposition in Verbindung mit der Morphogenese des Paläoreliefs ein, die in höherem Maße als bisher berücksichtigt werden sollte.

    A permafrost glacial hypothesis – Permafrost carbon might help explaining the Pleistocene ice ages (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Während der letzten ~100 ka Glazial-Interglazial-Zyklen war die Konzentration des Treibhausgases CO2 in der Atmosphäre eng mit der globalen Temperatur gekoppelt. Die Gründe fuür die CO2 Konzentrationsschwankungen wurden bislang vor allem im Ozean vermutet, bleiben aber rätselhaft. Darüberhinaus gibt es nur spekulative Erklärungsansätze für den mittelpleistozänen Übergang von den 41 ka Eiszeitzyklen im Frühpleistozän vor ~0.7 Ma zu den ~100 ka Eiszeitzyklen danach. Die klassische Milankovitch Theorie der Sommerinsolation in hohen nördlichen Breiten kann die Abfolge der pleistozänen Eiszeiten nicht vollständig erklären. Basierend auf jüngsten Erkenntnissen, dass die Menge des organischen Bodenkohlenstoffs in Permafrostgebieten massiv unterschätzt wurde, und der simplen Logik, dass Permafrostgebiete und die entsprechende Kohlenstoffspeicherung in den Eiszeiten vermutlich wesentlich größer waren als in den Warmzeiten, soll hier eine „Permafrost Hypothese“ vorgestellt werden: (i) Langsame Anreicherung von Kohlenstoff in Permafrostböden während Abkühlungsphasen, sowie rasche Freisetzung von CO2 und Methan während Erwärmungsphasen, sind entscheidende positive Rückkopplungsprozesse für das Klima. (ii) Änderungen der integrierten annuellen Insolation an der südlichen, und damit sensitiven Permafrostgrenze könnten als externe Auslöser für globale Klimaveränderungen fungieren. (iii) Der mittelpleistozäne Wechsel der Eiszeitzyklen könnte implizit damit erklärt werden, dass Permafrostgebiete im Laufe der langfristigen pleistozänen Abkühlung Breiten von ~45°N erreichten. Dort verschwindet das für höhere nördliche Breiten charakteristische aus der Schiefe der Ekliptik resultierende ~41 ka Signal der annuellen Insolation, und es dominiert allein das ~100 ka Signal der orbitalen Ekzentrizität.

    Late Quaternary evolution of rivers, lakes and peatlands in northeast Germany reflecting past climatic and human impact – an overview (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Die Kenntnis der regionalen Paläohydrologie ist eine wesentliche Grundlage für das Verständnis aktueller Umweltfragen, wie zum Beispiel nach den Gründen von hydrologischen Veränderungen, dem Einfluss von Landnutzungsstrategien und der Wirksamkeit von Renaturierungsvorhaben in Feuchtgebieten. Auch die Interpretation von Modellierungsergebnissen zu den künftigen Einflüssen des Klima- und Landnutzungswandels auf das Gewässersystem kann durch die Einbeziehung (prä-) historischer Analogien verbessert werden. Für das glazial geprägte nordostdeutsche Tiefland wurde eine Übersicht der vorliegenden paläohydrologischen Befunde für den Zeitraum der letzten etwa 20.000 Jahre erarbeitet. Die Entwicklung der Flüsse wurde mit Blick auf die Tal-/Auengenese und das Ablagerungsmilieu, die Veränderung des Tal- und Gerinneverlaufs sowie den Paläoabfluss bzw. das Paläohochwasser betrachtet. Wesentliche genetische Unterschiede bestehen zwischen Alt- (Elster- und Saalekaltzeit) und Jungmoränengebieten (Weichselkaltzeit) sowie zwischen hoch und tief gelegenen Tälern. Letztere sind stark durch Wasserspiegelveränderungen in der Nord- und Ostsee beeinflusst worden. Die Entwicklung der Seen wurde hinsichtlich der Seebildung, die überwiegend eine Folge der spätpleistozänen bis frühholozänen Toteistieftau-Dynamik ist, und der Veränderungen im Ablagerungsmilieu analysiert. Weiterhin standen Seespiegelveränderungen im Fokus, wobei sich hoch variable lokale Befunde mit einigen Übereinstimmungen zeigten. Der Überblick zur Moorentwicklung konzentrierte sich auf hydrogenetische Moorentwicklungsphasen und auf die langfristige Entwicklung des Grundwasserspiegels. Enge Beziehungen zwischen der Entwicklung der Flüsse, Seen und Moore bestanden insbesondere im Spätholozän durch komplexe Vermoorungsprozesse in den großen Flusstälern. Bis in das Spätholozän wurde die regionale Hydrologie überwiegend durch klimatische, geomorphologische und nicht-anthropogene biologische Faktoren gesteuert. Seit dem Spätmittelalter wurde in der Region das Gewässernetz und der Wasserkreislauf im starken Maß durch anthropogene Interventionen beeinflusst (z.B. Aufstau von Flüssen und Seen, Bau von Kanälen und Deichen, Moorkultivierung). In den letzten etwa 50 Jahren haben dann sogar die kurzfristigen anthropogenen Eingriffe, z.B. in Form von Abflussregulierung, Hydromelioration und künstlicher Seebildung, die Wirksamkeit langfristiger klimatischer und geomorphologischer Prozesse übertroffen.

    Quaternary glaciation history of northern Switzerland (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-07
    Description: Eine revidierte Vergletscherungsgeschichte des nördlichen Vorlandes der Schweizer Alpen wird vorgestellt, basierend auf Feldbefunden und chronologischen Daten von verschiedenen Schlüssellokalitäten und Regionen. Die ältesten quartären Sedimente der Schweiz sind mehrphasige Kiese, in die Till und Hochflutsedimente eingeschaltet sind (’Deckenschotter’). Bedeutende Unterschiede im Basisniveau der Schotterablagerungen erlauben die Unterscheidung zweier komplex augebauter Einheiten (’Höhere Deckenschotter’, ’Tiefere Deckenschotter’), die durch eine Phase bedeutender Einschneidung getrennt sind. Säugetierreste stellen die ältere Einheit (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’) in die Zone MN 17 (2.6–1.8 Ma). Jeder der Komplexe enthält Belege für zumindest zwei, möglicherweise sogar bis zu vier eigenständige Eiszeiten, woraus sich in Summe bis zu acht frühpleistozäne Vergletscherungen des Schweizer Alpenvorlands ergeben. Die frühpleistozänen Deckenschotter sind von mittelpleistozänen Ablagerungen durch eine Zeit bedeutender Erosion getrennt, die wahrscheinlich durch tektonische Bewegungen und/oder eine Umleitung des Alpenrheins verursacht wurde (Mittelpleistozäne Reorganisation – MPR). Das Mittel-/Spätpleistozän beinhaltet vier oder fünf Eiszeiten, die nach ihren Schlüsselregionen als Möhlin-, Habsburg-, Hagenholz- (unsicher, unzureichend belegt), Beringen- und Birrfeld-Eiszeit benannt sind. Die Möhlin-Eiszeit repräsentiert die grösste Vergletscherung des Schweizer Alpenvorlandes, während die Beringen-Eiszeit von nur wenig geringerer Ausdehnung war. Der letzte Glazialzyklus (Birrfeld-Eiszeit) umfasst wahrscheinlich drei eigenständige Gletschervorstösse, die auf ca. 105 ka, 65 ka und 25 ka datiert wurden. Für den letzten Eisvorstoss wird eine detaillierte Radiokohlenstoffchronologie für den Eisaufbau und das Abschmelzen präsentiert.

    The Quaternary of the southwest German Alpine Foreland (Bodensee-Oberschwaben, Baden-Württemberg, Southwest Germany) (2012)

    Publication Date: 2021-05-07
    Description: Das Quartär der Bodensee-Region besteht aus Schottern frühpleistozäner alpiner Flusssysteme (Deckenschotter) sowie aus glazialen und Schmelzwasser-Ablagerungen der mittel- und spätpleistozänen Eiszeiten. Sie belegen den landschaftlichen Wandel von einer Art Rampe aus Vorbergen hin zur heutigen Topographie mit ineinander greifenden, übertieften Becken, sodass sich eine Art Amphitheater ergibt. Die Deckenschotter als älteste Ablagerungen dokumentieren einerseits die Eintiefung der alpinen Flüsse in diversen Terrassenstufen im Sedimentationsgebiet, andererseits durch deutliche Unterschiede im Geröllspektrum die Vergrößerung des Liefergebiets des sich entwickelnden alpinen Rheins. Der älteste Till kommt vor in Kontakt mit Mindel-Deckenschottern, es gibt jedoch keine Hinweise auf eine glaziale Übertiefung in dieser Zeit. Die meisten glazialen und Schmelzwasser-Ablagerungen werden drei großen Vergletscherungen des Rheingletschers zugeordnet. Diese Vorlandvergletscherungen sind mit drei Generationen glazialer Becken verknüpft. Die ältesten Becken sind zur Donau orientiert, die aus der letzten Vereisung entwässern zum Rhein. Diese Reorientierung bewirkte die hervorragende räumliche Auflösung der Sedimente und Formen. Traditionell wurden die Sedimente in einem chronostratigraphischen System aus glazialen und interglazialen Stufen beschrieben. Unsere Ziele in dieser Arbeit sind, eine Aktualisierung des chronostratigraphischen Systems vorzustellen, das neue, beim geologischen Dienst von Baden-Württemberg angewandte, lithostratigraphische Schema zu erklären und die wichtigsten neuen Einheiten kurz zu beschreiben.

    Younger Middle Terrace – Saalian pre-Drenthe deposits overlying MIS 7 Nachtigall interglacial strata near Höxter/ Weser, NW-Germany (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: In einer Subrosionsstruktur über Evaporiten des Oberen Buntsandstein sind im Bergland am Oberlauf der Weser zwischen Höxter und Holzminden pleistozäne warm- und kühlzeitliche „Tone“- und „Torfe“ erhalten geblieben. Sie trennen hier kaltzeitliche Terrassen-Kiese und -Sande der Weser. Als Rohstoff wurden sie in dem kleinen Tagebau Nachtigall abgebaut. Aus Bohrungen, die 1997/98 zur Erkundung der Lagerstätte u.a. als Rammkernbohrungen niedergebracht wurden, standen für geowissenschaftliche Untersuchungen 33 m nahezu durchgehende Kernstrecke zur Verfügung. Daraus konnten 13,5 m für sedimentologische, palynostratigraphische und radiochronologische Untersuchungen ausgewählt werden. Diese warm- und kühlklimatischen Ablagerungen wurden als Nachtigall-Complex zusammengefasst und 2011 von zwei Autorengruppen des Projekts in zwei methodisch unterschiedlichen Artikeln veröffentlicht. Als geologischer Rahmen wurden 25 km2 Flussniederungs- und Hanglandschaft seit 1994 lithostratigraphisch und strukturgeologisch mit dem hier vorgelegten Ergebnis analysiert. Die zuvor schon bekannte Subrosionsstruktur erwies sich als z.T. von Störungen begrenzt. Die wichtigsten pleistozänen Kartiereinheiten sind die Sedimentkörper von 4 Flussterrassen; nach abnehmendem Alter sind dies: – jüngste der Oberterrassen, nicht abgesunken – Ältere Mittelterrasse (ÄMT), abgesunken – Jüngere Mittelterrasse, nicht abgesunken – Niederterrasse, z.T. auf Schichten der abgesunkenen ÄMT. Die Schichten des Nachtigall-Complex liegen direkt über Schichten der ÄMT und werden von Schichten der Jüngeren Mittelterrasse diskordant überlagert; sie sind abgesunken und verformt. Außerhalb des Untersuchungsgebietes wird die ÄMT – ihrer Lage in der Terrassentreppe gemäß – dem Marinen Isotopen-Stadium MIS 8 im unteren Teil des Saale-Komplex zugeordnet, die Jüngere Mittelterrasse dem älteren Abschnitt von MIS 6 im tiefen oberen Teil des Saale-Komplex vor dem Drenthe-Stadium. Damit wird das sowohl palynostratigraphisch als auch radiometrisch ermittelte MIS 7-Alter des zwischen beiden liegenden jüngst definierten Nachtigall 1 Interglazial lithostratigraphisch gestützt.

    Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology of Terna River Basin in West Central India (2012)

    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Im vorgelegten Artikel werden die Morphostratigraphie, Lithostratigraphie sowie die Sedimentstrukturen des Terna Beckens in der Deccan Basaltic Province (DBP) im westlichen Zentralindien vorgestellt. Die Quartärablagerungen können in drei große Einheiten unterteilt werden (i) dunkelgraue Schluffablagerungen – Spätes Holozän, (ii) hellgraue Schluffablagerungen – Frühes Holozän, (iii) dunkelgrau-braune Schluffablagerungen – Spätpleistozän mit altquartären alluvialen Absätzen mit oberpleistozänen Altern. Die feinen tonig-schluffigen Ablagerungen im Unterlauf des Flusses deuten auf ruhige Ablagerungsbedingungen und einen sinusartigen Abfluss hin. Der Fluss zeigt Tendenzen zu abschwemmungsbedingten Gerinneverlagerungen, die wiederum durch vorhandene Bruchlinien gesteuert wurden. Entlang des Terna-Flusses konnten weiterhin Paläouferrücken in Form von 4–5 m hohen Rücken nachgewiesen werden, hier vor allem im Bereich der OrtschaftenTer, Killari, Sastur, Dhuta und Makni. Einige nachgewiesene Bruchlinien treten vor allem in NE-SE, NW-SE, E-W und WNW-ESE-Richtung auf und bestimmen die Struktur des Grundgebirges im Untersuchungsgebiet. Die TSI-Werte (Topographic Sinousity Index) verdeutlichen einen Erosionswechsel im Untersuchungsgebiet mit einer Verstärkung des topographischen Einflusses auf die Ausformung der Abflussbahnen. Die im Profil sichtbare Geländekante zeugt weiterhin von einer tektonischen Hebung des Gebietes im Quartär. Radiokohlenstoffdatierungen, die an einigen Holzkohlefragmenten durchgeführt wurden, die aus gefalteten Ablagerungen entnommen wurden, deuten darauf hin, dass eine seismische Aktivität in der Zeitspanne zwischen 120–1671 n. Chr. stattgefunden haben kann.

    Reconstructing 2500 years of land use history on the Kemel Heath (Kemeler Heide), southern Rhenish Massif, Germany (2012)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-05-06
    Description: Die Kemeler Heide im westlichen Hintertaunus ist heute Teil des größten zusammenhängenden Waldgebietes in Hessen mit einer Waldbedeckung von rund 60 %. Bis ins frühe 19. Jahrhundert wurde sie jedoch als Heide genutzt. Mit der vorliegenden Studie wird versucht, die regionale Landnutzungsgeschichte auf der Kemeler Heide mithilfe verschiedenartiger methodischer Ansätze zu rekonstruieren. Eine besondere Berücksichtigung erfahren dabei historische Relikte, die sich im Wald erhalten haben. Zur Rekonstruktion früherer Landnutzungssysteme wurden hochmittelalterliche Ackerraine in drei verschiedenen Wüstungsfluren kartiert und im Hinblick auf ihre Sedimentzusammensetzung und ihr Alter untersucht. Die Datierung derartiger Ackerkolluvien erfolgte erstmals mit mehreren 14C- und einer OSL-Datierung. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der Untersuchungen waren frühneuzeitliche Holzkohlemeilerplätze, anhand derer die Artenzusammensetzung der frühneuzeitlichen Wälder rekonstruiert werden konnte. Zusätzlich wurden auch zwei verschiedene Schlackenhalden als Hinterlassenschaften hochmittelalterlicher Eisenverhüttung datiert und die Ergebnisse mit den Sedimentationsraten einer kolluvialen Dellenfüllung verglichen. Dabei konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die anthropogene Landnutzung auf der Kemeler Heide spätestens während der Eisenzeit begann. Die stärksten Einflüsse erfolgten jedoch erst während des hohen Mittelalters und der frühen Neuzeit. Besonders im Hochmittelalter führte ausgedehnter Ackerbau dazu, dass der Waldanteil weitaus kleiner war als heute. Die meisten Ackerraine stammen daher aus dieser Periode. Während der Neuzeit wurde dagegen vermehrt Heidewirtschaft betrieben.

    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Vorgestellt werden Neuuntersuchungen an einem 1899 beim Sandabbau entdeckten spätglazialen Fundplatz im Kr. Nordvorpommern. Die z. T. Bearbeitungsspuren aufweisenden Knochenartefakte stammen zum größten Teil vom Elch, je einmal sind Riesenhirsch und Pferd vertreten. Lithische Artefakte sind nicht überliefert. Der in das frühe Alleröd datierende Elchjägerplatz Endingen VI repräsentiert den ältesten absolut datierten Nachweis einer menschlichen Besiedlung in Nordostdeutschland. Die Fundschicht selbst ist offenbar vollständig zerstört worden. Unmittelbar benachbarte Profile weisen eine Abfolge basaler Geschiebemergel, fluvialer Sand des Pleniglazials, spätglaziale Silikatmudde und fluvialer Sand der Jüngeren Dryas auf. Ein Pollendiagramm aus der Silikatmudde zeigt eine Palynostratigraphie vom „Bölling" (neu: „Hippophaë-Phase") bis zum mittleren Alleröd. Die Sedimentbildung und die Vegetationsentwicklung am Fundplatz werden erläutert sowie spätglaziale Nachweise des Riesenhirsches im nördlichen Mitteleuropa diskutiert.

    Description: Im Rahmen einer Glazialkartierung des nördlichen Teiles vom Blatt Bayersoien (1 : 25000, Nr. 8331) wurden am östlichen Rand des Einflußbereiches vom ehemaligen Lechvorlandgletscher interstadiale Sedimente nachgewiesen. An den darin gefundenen Holzresten konnten mit Hilfe der 14C-Methode absolute Altersbestimmungen durchgeführt werden. Das zwischen 31200 und 36000 Jahren festgestellte Alter machte eine Einordnung in die Hauptwürmschwankung möglich. Die Ablagerungsverhältnisse unterstrichen diese Einordnung. Da es sich bei dem Vorkommen um charakteristische Stauseesedimente handelte, wurde angenommen, daß die aufstauende Wirkung von Moränenwällen der Frühwürmvereisung ausging. Untersuchungen der Flora und Mikrofauna ergaben, daß während der Hauptwürmschwankung am nördlichen Alpenrand zumindest teilweise den heutigen Klimabedingungen sehr ähnliche Verhältnisse geherrscht haben müssen.

Die Fundschicht ist danach 9000 Jahre, bei Berücksichtigung von möglicherweise eingelagertem Löß-Kalk mindestens 8500 Jahre alt und stammt somit aus dem späten Präboreal, allenfalls aus dem Beginn des Boreals.

    Funde von Steingeräten aus altpleistozänen Schottern im Raume von Wien (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Durch die fast gleichzeitig geglückten Funde von sehr altertümlichen Steinwerkzeugen im Neckargebiet (durch A. Rust) und im Donaugebiet (durch H. Mohr und H. Küpper) ist die Frage der Existenz einer bodenständigen Industrie zur Zeit des Heidelberger Vormenschen (oder eines Vorgängers) in Mitteleuropa bejaht worden. Die zur Beschreibung gelangenden Geräte wurden aus dem höchsten und jetzt als basalpleistozän erkannten Schotterkomplex im Raum von Wien (Laaer Berg - Wiener Berg) aufgesammelt. Es ergaben sich klare Beziehungen (sowohl in typologischer als in schlagtechnischer Hinsicht) zum Gerätebestand der Heidelberger Stufe im Neckargebiet. Nach M. Mottl ist die Industrie der Laaer Berg-Schotter im Wesentlichen als eine Geröll-Abschlag-Industrie mit starker Betonung der Nasenschaberformen zu bezeichnen. Die - spärlichen - Wirbeltierfunde aus den Schottern sprechen eindeutig für die basale Stellung des Schotterkomplexes innerhalb des pleistozänen Systems. Anknüpfungspunkte, die eine Verbindung zur Faustkeilentwicklung herstellen würden, konnten nicht nachgewiesen werden.

    Kennzahlen für den Feinheitsgrad des Lösses (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Bei der Untersuchung des Lösses spielt die Korngrößenzusammensetzung eine wesentliche Rolle, da man aus der Änderung der Körnung bzw. aus der Feinheit wichtige Schlüsse auf die Entstehung des äolischen Sedimentes ziehen kann. Bei der Ermittlung von Unterschieden in der Feinheit mußte man sich bisher darauf beschränken, einzelne Fraktionen untereinander zu vergleichen. Dieses Verfahren konnte natürlich zu keinen exakten Ergebnissen führen. Die beschriebene Methode erlaubt nun, den Feinheitsgrad in einer einzigen Zahl, der sog. Kennzahl anzugeben. Mit Hilfe der aus den Gewichtsprozenten schnell zu errechnenden Kennzahlen, die allerdings keine absoluten, sondern relative Werte darstellen, ist es möglich, die Änderungen des Feinheitsgrades quantitativ zu erfassen und in Abhängigkeit von anderen Faktoren graphisch darzustellen. An mehreren Beispielen wird die Anwendung der Kennzahlen näher erläutert. Bei zwei Lößprofilen konnte durch die Kennzahlen eine Abnahme der Feinheit von unten nach oben nachgewiesen werden. Ob dies auch bei anderen Lößprofllen der Fall ist, müssen weitere Untersuchungen zeigen. An drei anderen Beispielen wurde die Änderung der Feinheit mit der Entfernung vom Auswehungsgebiet untersucht. In den drei Gebieten nimmt die Feinheit mit der Entfernung zu und zwar steigt der Feinheitsgrad linear mit dem Logarithmus der Entfernung. Die schnellste Zunahme des Feinheitsgrades erfolgt in der Randzone des Auswehungsgebietes, wo infolgedessen auch die größten Lößmächtigkeiten angetroffen werden. Die Zunahme der Feinheit vom Auswehungs- bis in das Ablagerungsgebiet kann durch eine einzige Kurve zum Ausdruck gebracht werden.

    Fluviatile Dynamik im Mittelwesertal während des Spätglazials und Holozäns (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Bei der Untersuchung der spätglazialen und holozänen Bildungen im Mittelwesertal wurde den Hochflutsedimenten sowie den sedimentären und sedentären Füllungen der vom Fluß verlassenen Altarme besondere Beachtung geschenkt. Dabei konnte eine Stratigraphie des Spätglazials und Holozäns erstellt werden, die durch einige grundlegende Ereignisse geprägt wird: 1. Im Spätglazial, spätestens in der Jüngeren Tundrenzeit, fand an der Mittelweser ein Umschwung vom "braided river" zum mäandrierenden Fluß statt, verbunden mit einer geringfügigen Tieferlegung der Talaue. Der Fluß lagerte nun Hochflutsedimente ab, die in der Regel sehr grobkörnig und geringmächtig sind. Ursache für den Umschwung dürfte die Erwärmung im Bölling oder Alleröd gewesen sein, die mit gleichmäßig über die Jahreszeiten verteilter Wasserführung des Flusses einherging. 2. Im jüngeren Atlantikum oder an der Wende Atlantikum/Subboreal kam es vermutlich zu einer noch näher zu untersuchenden Tieferlegung des Auenniveaus um etwa 3 m bei Stolzenau, die sich weiter flußabwärts, bei Verden, wegen des Effekts der Terrassenüberschneidung nicht mehr bemerkbar macht. 3. Seit der ausgehenden Bronzezeit scheint es im Einzugsgebiet der Weser verstärkt zu Rodungen gekommen zu sein. Von nun an bis weit ins Mittelalter hinein wurden an der Mittelweser tonige Hochflutsedimente (Auelehme) abgelagert, unterbrochen durch eine schwache Erosionsphase in der römischen Kaiserzeit. 4. Mit der Rodung der Talaue kam es an der Mittelweser zu einem krassen Umschwung im Sedimentationsgeschehen. Ab etwa 900 n. Chr. (bei Verden erst ab 1200 n. Chr.) wurde unter den veränderten Sedimentationsbedingungen schluffiger Auelehm abgelagert. 5. Im ausgehenden Mittelalter (etwa Mitte 14. Jh. bis um 1500) kam es zur Ablagerung von sandreichem Auelehm, wahrscheinlich als Folge der häufigen Starkregen und Überschwemmungen, die aus dieser Zeit überliefert sind. 6. Während der Neuzeit wurden entlang des nun weitgehend regulierten und eingedeichten Flusses erneut schluffige Auelehme abgelagert, die im flußnahen Bereich häufig kalkhaltig sind. Die Sedimentation dauert bis in die Gegenwart hinein an.

    Vegetationsentwicklung, Paläoböden, Seespiegelschwankungen: Untersuchungen an eem- und weichselzeitlichen Sedimenten vom Südrand des Harzes (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Die jungpleistozäne Sedimentserie des Aschenhütter Erdfalls (südlicher Harzrand, Niedersachsen) bietet die interessante Möglichkeit, palynologische und geologische Befunde miteinander zu verknüpfen. Die Sedimentserie besteht aus limnischen und telmatischen Ablagerungen und Lößderivaten mit eem- und weichselzeitlichen Paläoböden. Die limnisch-telmatischen Sedimente umfassen nach dem pollenanalytischen Befund die Hainbuchenzeit und die darauffolgenden Abschnitte des Eem-Interglazials, das Brörup-Interstadial (sensu Andersen) und Teile der diesem vorausgehenden bzw. folgenden Stadiale (Herning-bzw. Rederstall-Stadial). Anders als an den meisten eemzeitlichen Untersuchungspunkten, die fast alle in den ehemals vereisten Tieflandsgebieten liegen, war die Fichte am Harzrand schon während der Hainbuchenzeit eine der wichtigen Baumarten. Die interstadiale Vegetationsentwicklung läßt keinen Klimarückschlag erkennen, wie er in Gegenden mit einer thermisch anspruchsvolleren Vegetation oder nahe an den Verbreitungsgrenzen der einzelnen Baumarten im Brörup-Interstadial gewöhnlich deutlich wird. Die botanischen Untersuchungen ergaben auch keine Hinweise auf ein Vorkommen von Bruckenthalia und Picea omoricoides bei Aschenhütte. Die pollenanalytisch datierte limnisch-telmatische Sedimentfolge verzahnt sich mit Lößpaläoböden und ermöglicht deren stratigraphische Einordnung. Die pollenführenden Sedimente gehen im Uferbereich in den Eem-Boden und in frühweichselzeitliche Bleichhorizonte und Fließerden über; im Hangenden treten Lößböden des Stillfried-B-Interstadials auf (Hattorfer und Lohner Boden der mittleren Weichselzeit). Die Untersuchungen zur Faziesverteilung der Sedimente und zum Auftreten von Wasserpflanzen erlauben Aussagen über Spiegelschwankungen des Aschenhütter Sees. Spiegelhöchststände wurden nach dem Ende des Eem-Interglazials und während des Brörup-Interstadials erreicht. Dagegen sank der Wasserspiegel im Verlauf des Herning-Stadials, und im Rederstall-Stadial verlandete der Aschenhütter See. Die Spiegelschwankungen werden mit Niederschlags- und Verdunstungsänderungen als Folge von Klimaschwankungen erklärt.

    Die altpaläolithischen Artefaktfunde von Uichteritz, Landkreis Weißenfels (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: In diesem Beitrag wird eine kleine Kollektion von Feuersteinartefakten aus mittelpleistozänen Schottern der Saale vorgestellt. Die Funde wurden in den Jahren seit 1994 in einer Kiesgrube bei Uichteritz geborgen. Geologischen Untersuchungen zufolge gehören die artefaktführenden Schotter wahrscheinlich in die späte Elster-Kaltzeit. Damit handelt es sich bei den Funden möglicherweise um die ältesten im mitteldeutschen Raum. Darüber hinaus gehören die von Uichteritz sowie von einer benachbarten Fundstelle bei Markröhlitz vorliegenden altpaläolithischen Artefakte noch immer zu den seltenen Funden aus dieser Zeit in Mitteldeutschland.

    Über eine Verlandungsfolge weichsel-interstadialen Alters in Harksheide bei Hamburg (2011)

    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Ein aufgrund der Lagerungsverhältnisse — im Liegenden Eem, im Hangenden Solifluktionsschutt — in ein Weichsel-Interstadial eingestuftes Vorkommen organogener Bildungen wird beschrieben. Es läßt sich ein vollständiger Verlandungszyklus feststellen. Dieser Umstand und das pollenstatistische Bild der Vegetationsentwicklung zeigen auch unabhängig von den Lagerungsverhältnissen, daß es sich um Bildungen einer selbständigen, in sich abgeschlossenen Warmphase handelt. Es ergibt sich das vollständige Bild eines Weichsel-Interstadials von der beginnenden Einwanderung der Vegetation bis zu den ersten Anzeichen einer neuerlichen Lichtung der Bewaldung. Das gewonnene Bild der Vegetationsentwicklung vermittelt eine Vorstellung von der Amplitude der Klimaoszillation. Diese hat höchstens das Ausmaß der Allerödschwankung erreicht. Ein zweites unvollständiges Profil ist nach den Lagerungsverhältnissen und dem Pollendiagramm mit dem ersteren gut vergleichbar und daher ebenfalls als Weichsel-Interstadial anzusehen.

    Klima und Landschaft Nordsomalias im Quartär—Erste Ergebnisse von Feldstudien (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Im Rahmen des von der DFG geförderten Sonderforschungsbereichs 69 („Geowissenschaftliche Probleme in ariden und semi-ariden Gebieten", TU Berlin) wurden in Nordsomalia Geländeuntersuchungen zum quartären Klima- und Landschaftswandel durchgeführt. Das gegenwärtig aride bis semiaride Klima hatte offenbar feuchtere Vorläuferphasen, die aber nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen nicht so gravierende Oszillationen kannten wie in der Sahara. Sie dokumentieren sich u. a. in reliktischen Böden, in Karstphänomenen, in fluvialen Terrassen und in mehreren Epochen menschlicher Besiedlung. Am auffälligsten bieten sich unterschiedliche Arten nichtmariner Kalkablagerungen wie Tuffe, Travertine und Sinter dar. Fünf Typen sind repräsentiert: (1) Breite Talauen sind kilometerweit von bis zu 4 m mächtigen Travertindecken überzogen, die eine jungpleistozäne Sequenz fluvialer, pedogener und lakustriner Sedimente abschließen. — (2) An Berghängen treten bis zu 30 m hohe und 300 m breite Quelltuffe auf. — (3) Bis zu 40 m hohe Sinterbarrieren haben manche ehemaligen Flußläufe abgedämmt. — (4) Sekundäre Kalkdecken, bis 2 m mächtig, überziehen zahlreiche Berghänge. — (5) Höhlensinter werden vor allem aus dem westlichen Teil Nordsomalias beschrieben, sie scheinen aber im Untersuchungsgebiet selten zu sein. Geomorphologische, archäologische und Isotopen-Datierungen zeigen unterschiedliche Perioden verstärkter Kalkausfällung im Laufe des Quartärs. Ein auf etwa 18.000 B. P. datierter limnischer Horizont enthält zahlreiche Invertebraten-Fossilien sowie jungpaläolithische Artefakte. Andere 14C-Datierungen belegen, daß die großen präislamischen Gräberfelder sowie die Steinplätze (= Feuerstellen von Nomaden) offenbar aus protohistorischer bis historischer Zeit stammen. Sie geben Hinweise auf höhere Bevölkerungsdichten während der letzten zwei Jahrtausende.

    Glazial übertiefte Talabschnitte in den Bayerischen Alpen: Ergebnisse glazialgeologischer, hydrologischer und geophysikalischer Untersuchungen (2011)
    Geozon Science Media
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: In den Tälern der Bayerischen Alpen treten abschnittsweise glaziale Längsübertiefungen auf. Diese Übertiefungen sind an Gesteine gebunden, die von Natur aus leicht erodierbar sind; sie treten aber auch in schwer erodierbaren Gesteinen auf, wenn sie intensiv zerklüftet sind und wenn diese Kluftzonen durch die wiederholte Be- und Entlastung des Gebirges im Zuge des wiederholten Vor- und Zurückweichens der Gletscher aufgelockert wurden. Die glaziale Übertiefung beträgt sehr häufig 200 bis 300 m ab heutiger Talhöhe. Wo es zusätzlich zu einer Vereinigung zweier Gletscherströme kam, liegen höhere Übertiefungsbeträge vor. Den Abschluß der Übertiefung bilden Schwellen, die teilweise aus der Talfläche herausragen, teilweise in 150 m unter Flur liegen. Die Talübertiefung scheint rißeiszeitlich ihr größtes Ausmaß erlangt zu haben. Die Talfüllung besteht ganz überwiegend aus wenig wasserwegsamen Lockergesteinen, wie Tonen und Moränen mit hohem Feinkornanteil; sie setzt sich in großflächiger Verbreitung wohl nur aus riß-und würmeiszeitlichen Anteilen zusammen.
