Abstract. 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.

At the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, a very widespread phenomenon of 'technical globalization' (Valentin, 2008) is proposed by certain archaeologists, based on the strong analogies existing between geographically distant lithic productions ([Epi-]Laborian, Belloisian, Ahrensburgian or even Swiderian). Therefore, it is necessary to develop criteria to evaluate the actual degree of relatedness between these diverse traditions, which, nevertheless, differ sometimes in their lithic projectile implements. Do real similarities with regard to the knapping methods exist, what do they consist of, and what do they indicate as to the precise characteristics of the intended blades and bladelets? Moreover, in what way are these methods and intentions distinct from what is known in the Late Federmesser-Gruppen (cf. Late Azilian)? In this paper, we start describing the modes of initialisation and progression of the core reduction process in the Belloisian industries by reexamining in detail the lithic material recovered at Donnemarie-Dontilly, the study of which benefits from numerous refit complexes. At the beginning of the paper, we use this opportunity to briefly make some new palaeoethnographical comments that ask anew which function these curious Belloisian sites had. In order to study the industry from Donnemarie, we then propose a rigorous technological vocabulary which distinguishes between initialisation and progression of the reduction process and which takes into consideration the extent and the orientation of this progression. One hundred and eleven successful knapping operations are analysed from this perspective, with the most reliable information originating from quite complete refit complexes or cores the initial volume of which can be reconstructed. Rare but very significant strictly 'facial' core reductions, clearly enlarged and dissymmetric progressions that no morphological limitation imposed, very flattened flaking faces during the last sequences are all significant options. They have sometimes been applied at the physical limits of blank detachment showing that the knappers often sought for particularly thin blades and bladelets (and with a tapered extremity, considering the frequent use of two platforms rapidly alternating). These options can also be found in the Belloisian assemblages of the Somme valley and of Normandy, which we have started to examine. Manifest affinities also exist with the Post-Azilian industries in western Central France, published by N. Naudinot (2010 and 2013): incidentally, it is these observations that have inspired us to reexamine the Belloisian from this particular perspective. From now on, the study has to be continued well beyond that among other related industries of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. In these industries, we wonder now if, in addition to their distal tapering, it is not the very frequent overall thinness of the regular blades and bladelets that is discriminatory. This quality would be related with both the enlargement towards flat surfaces and often ve...

“…In contrast, the region and study area remained unglaciated throughout the Weichselian glaciation (MIS 4 to MIS 2), with the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice margin located c. 50 km to the northeast (Figure 2a). The associated ice-marginal valley is now partly occupied by the recent River Elbe, but it covered more extensive areas (Meyer, 1983;Woldstedt, 1956), so that it delimits the Öring and Lemgow to the north (Figures 2 and 3). The Eemian course of the lower Elbe has been highly debated in the past, in particular the time at which the river occupied its current position following the Saalian glaciations (Illies, 1954;Lüttig & Meyer, 1974;Woldstedt, 1956).…”

However, it is now widely accepted that the ice‐marginal valley formed even prior to the late Saalian Warthe Stadial and attracted the regional discharge from this time onward (Averdieck, 1976; Ehlers, 1990; Grube et al, 1976; Meyer, 1983).…”

The prevailing view suggests that the Eemian interglacial on the European Plain was characterized by largely negligible geomorphic activity beyond the coastal areas. However, systematic geomorphological studies are sparse. Here we present a detailed reconstruction of Eemian to Early Weichselian landscape evolution in the vicinity of a small fingerlake on the northern margin of the Salzwedel Palaeolake in Lower Saxony (Germany). We apply a combination of seismics, sediment coring, pollen analysis and luminescence dating on a complex sequence of colluvial, paludal and lacustrine sediments. Results suggest two pronounced phases of geomorphic activity, directly before the onset and at the end of the Eemian period, with an intermediate period of pronounced landscape stability. The dynamic phases were largely driven by incomplete vegetation cover, but likely accentuated by fluvial incision in the neighbouring Elbe Valley. Furthermore, we discovered Neanderthal occupation at the lakeshore during Eemian pollen zone (PZ) E IV, which is chronologically in line with other known Eemian sites of central Europe. Our highly‐resolved spatio‐temporal data substantially contribute to the understanding of climate‐induced geomorphic processes throughout and directly after the last interglacial period. It helps unraveling the landscape dynamics between the coastal areas to the north and the loess belt to the south.
