“…In such a dynamic context, the only possibility for good preservation of archaeological levels would be if they were overrid-den by debris flow deposits. Indeed, numerous studies carried out in present-day environments have emphasized that this kind of flow has no erosive action on the substratum on which it spreads (Johnson, 1970;Enos, 1977;Naylor, 1980;Johnson and Rodine, 1984;Hubert and Filipov, 1989). However, the isotropic distribution of archaeological material at Combe Capelle shows that it experienced the successive flows with natural sediments.…”

“…Deposition of sediment by repeated flows results in the construction of debris-flow fans that can potentially record information on past flow size, timing, composition, and depositional pattern (Schumm et al, 1987;Harvey, 2011). Such fans are therefore a potentially powerful archive of debris-flow processes (e.g., Whipple and Dunne, 1992;Dühnforth et al, 2007;d'Arcy et al, 2015;de Haas et al, 2015ade Haas et al, , 2015b, hazard (e.g., Hubert and Filipov, 1989;Helsen et al, 2002;Stoffel et al, 2008a;Arattano et al, 2010;de Scally et al, 2010), and sediment supply (e.g., McDonald et al, 2003;Dühnforth et al, 2008;Hornung et al, 2010;Savi et al, 2014). Reading that archive, however, and extracting quantitative information about past debris flows, requires that we understand the pattern and timing of debris flow deposition on fans so that the evolution of the fan can be reconstructed.…”

Cl exposure dating of debris-flow deposits on the fan to constrain the temporal evolution of the sediment routing system in the catchment and on the fan during the past 3200 years. We show that the fan surface preserves a set of debris-flow lobes that were predominantly deposited after the occurrence of a large rock avalanche near the fan apex at about 3200 years ago. This rock avalanche shifted the apex of the fan and impounded sediment within the Illgraben catchment.

This pattern of frequent avulsion and fan surface occupation provides field-scale evidence of the type of large-scale compensatory behavior observed in experimental sediment routing systems.

“…Therefore, even if 871 additional material is entrained by debris flow surges after initiation by surface runoff, more 872 powerful surges might still entrain larger particles. Alternatively, some debris flows in this 873 landscape may be initiated by the failure of saturated sediment on hillslopes during intense 874 storms (e.g., Hubert and Filipov, 1989;Iverson, 1997), and this will still be promoted by 875 increased rainfall intensities. 876…”
