TL;DR: An extensive programme of AMS-dating of charred broomcorn millet grains from 75 prehistoric sites in Europe provides a new, high-resolution chronological framework for this key agricultural development that likely contributed to far-reaching changes in lifestyle in late 2nd millennium bc Europe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the census of the Holocene archaeological sites that have been studied as part of archaeobotany in Italy (continental Italy, the Italian peninsula and islands) over the last quarter in a century.

TL;DR: The Etruscan harbour of Forcello, in the lower valley of the Mincio River, northern Italy, was active between 540 and 390 BC, and stratigraphic investigations revealed that the settlement occupied a hill on the shore of a lake.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a paleoenvironmental reconstruction for the mountain fringe between the South Eastern Alps and the Northern Dinarides (NE-Italy/W-Slovenia) during the last glacial maximum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on records of timberline and glacier oscillations in the Rutor Glacier forefield (Western Italian Alps) in the last 8800 years, and adopted an integrative stratigraphic approach including proxies for glacier advance and timberline estimation, sedimentary events, and reconstructed temperatures.
