Journal ArticleDOI
Tephrostratigraphy and glass compositions of post-15 kyr Campi Flegrei eruptions: implications for eruption history and chronostratigraphic markers
TL;DR: Wulf et al. as mentioned in this paper used a database of proximal glass compositions to correlate proximal volcanic deposits through to distal tephra layers in the Lago di Monticchio record and these correlations provide information on eruption stratigraphy and the tempo of volcanism at Campi Flegrei.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic ash layers illuminate the resilience of Neanderthals and early modern humans to natural hazards
J. John Lowe,Nick Barton,Simon Blockley,Christopher Bronk Ramsey,Victoria L. Cullen,William Davies,Clive Gamble,Katharine M. Grant,Mark Hardiman,Rupert A. Housley,Christine Lane,Sharen Lee,Mark Lewis,Alison MacLeod,Martin Menzies,Wolfgang Müller,Mark Pollard,Cathy J. Price,Andrew P. Roberts,Eelco J. Rohling,Christopher Satow,Victoria C.

TL;DR: The results confirm that the combined effects of a major volcanic eruption and severe climatic cooling failed to have lasting impacts on Neanderthal or early modern humans in Europe and infer that modern humans proved a greater competitive threat to indigenous populations than natural disasters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and correlation of visible tephras in the Lake Suigetsu SG06 sedimentary archive, Japan: chronostratigraphic markers for synchronising of east Asian/west Pacific palaeoclimatic records across the last 150 ka
Victoria C. Smith,Richard A. Staff,Simon Blockley,Christopher Bronk Ramsey,Takeshi Nakagawa,Darren F. Mark,Keiji Takemura,Toru Danhara +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and characterise these tephras based on major element glass composition, which is useful for the identification and correlation of these tectras and the age models of the records in which they are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early levallois technology and the lower to middle paleolithic transition in the southern caucasus
Daniel S. Adler,Keith Wilkinson,Simon Blockley,Darren F. Mark,Ron Pinhasi,Beverly A. Schmidt-Magee,Samvel Nahapetyan,Carolina Mallol,Francesco Berna,P. J. Glauberman,Yannick Raczynski-Henk,Nathan Wales,Nathan Wales,Ellery Frahm,Olaf Jöris,Alison MacLeod,Victoria C. Smith,Victoria L. Cullen,Boris Gasparian +18 more
TL;DR: The data from Nor Geghi 1, Armenia, record the earliest synchronic use of bifacial and Levallois technology outside Africa and are consistent with the hypothesis that this transition occurred independently within geographically dispersed, technologically precocious hominin populations with a shared technological ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in rhyolite geochemistry, mineralogy, and magma storage during the last 50 kyr at Okataina and Taupo volcanic centres, Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
TL;DR: The most frequently active rhyolitic zone on Earth is the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand (TVC) as mentioned in this paper, where the most frequent active rhyolite eruptions occur at the Okataina and TVC volcanoes.
