“…All rivers in the North Sea area have been strongly affected by Holocene sea-level rise. It changed patterns of fluvial sedimentation up to c. 150 km from the coast in the low-gradient bigger rivers, played a role in the formation and demise of distributaries (and thus sediment delivery to the coast; Beets & van de Spek, 2000;Berendsen & Stouthamer, 2000;Hijma & Cohen, 2012), and governed peat formation in active and abandoned alluvial plains (and thus accommodation and preservation of palaeosurfaces and sedimentary layers including any contained archaeology and palaeoenvironmental information; Cohen, 2005;Gouw & Erkens, 2007). This also took place in earlier interglacials (e.g.…”

The landscape evolution of the southern North Sea basin is complex and has left a geographically varying record of marine, lacustrine, fluvial and glacial sedimentation and erosion. Quaternary climatic history, which importantly included glaciation, combined with tectonics gave rise to cyclic and non-cyclic changes of sedimentation and erosion patterns. Large-scale landscape reorganisations left strong imprints in the preserved record, and are important for the detail that palaeogeographical reconstructions for the North Sea area can achieve. In the spirit of the North Sea Prehistory Sea. It summarises current stratigraphical and chronological frameworks and provides an overview of sedimentary environments. As we go back in time, the understanding of Quaternary palaeo-environmental evolution in the North Sea basin during the last 1 million years becomes decreasingly accurate, with degree of preservation and accuracy of age control equally important controls. Comparing palaeogeographical reconstructions for the Middle Pleistocene, the last interglacial-glacial cycle and the period following the Last Glacial Maximum illustrates this. More importantly, a series of palaeogeographical maps provide an account of basin-scale landscape change, which provides an overall framework for comparing landscape situations through time.

“…Quantitative compositional point counting of the sand samples was conducted following the standard Gazzi-Dickinson technique (Gazzi, 1966;Dickinson, 1970;Zuffa, 1980), which reduces the influence of the grain size on composition. The point-counting method consists of separating coarse-grained lithic fragments (single crystals Ͼ0.0625 mm) from fine-grained lithic fragments (single Simplified cross section of a channel belt, illustrating the method of radiocarbon dating the activity of channel belts (after Berendsen & Stouthamer, 2000).

Bronze Age paleohydrography of the southern Venetian Plain

2009

The Bronze Age paleohydrography of the distal Adige and Po alluvial plain (northeastern Italy) is notable for its relations with protohistoric human activities in this area. This paper regards the stratigraphy and petrography of the Saline-Cona alluvial ridge, upon which the Saline, Sarzano, and Cantarana Bronze Age sites lie, and the petrography of Fratta alluvial ridge, upon which the Frattesina complex (Bronze-Iron Age) lies. Sand analyses indicate the Po River as the source for sediments underlying the alluvial ridge that runs through Fratta Polesine, Rovigo, Sarzano, and Cona. Radiometric ages indicate that the branch of the Saline-Cona ridge was formed by the Po River between the second half of the 3rd millennium B.C. and the end of 2nd millennium B.C. This ridge represents the maximum northward expansion of the Po alluvial system, through the same area of coastal plain crossed by the Adige and Brenta paleochannels. This paleohydrographic setting implies that fluvial connections between the Central Po Plain settlements, the Venetian Plain and Alps were relatively less complex in the Early and Middle Bronze Age than in the Late Bronze Age, when the terminal reach of the Po River was separated by the Adige River by hundreds of km 2 of swampy terrain.

sedimentation in a systemic approacH. TerraeDid atic a ARTIGO ABSTRACT: Sedimentation can be considered as a system on the surface of the Earth. It exhibits a fundamental attribute of a system, the equifinality, which is expressed by the search for stability between erosion and deposition. A sedimentary system exhibits mass and energy inputs and outputs, and internal mass transfer. Energy is added in the form of thermal and gravitational energy. Mass entry occurs by absorption of atmospheric gases, rain and snow, weathering and erosion, and photosynthesis. Energy leaves the system by heat loss and chemical energy accumulation in rocks. Mass is lost by incorporation into the stratigraphic record, organic matter degradation and gas release to the atmosphere. A division into sub-systems is also possible, based on the driving energy: (i) inertia, (ii) density gradients, (iii) tides and (iv) waves. From the didactic point of view, the systemic view brings issues like sedimentology, paleontology and geochemistry closer together. Manuscrito IntroduçãoO estudo das rochas sedimentares está fundamentado nos princípios atualistas, em que os processos de sedimentação são o ponto de partida para a interpretação das fácies e associações de fácies no registro sedimentar. Nos currículos dos cursos de geologia, a disciplina de sedimentologia aborda os métodos de interpretação paleoambiental, sob o ponto de vista dos processos físicos, com um embasamento teórico oriundo da hidráulica. No entanto, em geral, os processos químicos e biológicos são relegados a um segundo plano.A disciplina de paleontologia, por sua vez, volta o seu olhar para o fóssil, como organismo ou como clasto sedimentar. As interações dos organismos com o seu ambiente, as quais influenciam os processos de sedimentação, muitas vezes não são abordadas, especialmente se não deixarem no registro restos fossilizados. Apenas a paleoicnologia faz esta abordagem, mas como se trata de uma disciplina mais específica, nem sempre está presente nos currículos de graduação.Nos mesmos currículos, a geoquímica exógena abrange os processos químicos ambientes superficiais, inorgânicos e biogênicos. Entretanto, essa disciplina tem uma área de atuação mais ampla, que envolve também os processos diagenéticos e de formação de depósitos minerais em rochas sedimentares, restando pouco espaço para o desenvolvimento de conteúdos voltados à sedimentação (que frequentemente não são abordados).Existe, portanto, uma lacuna no estudo da sedimentação, no que diz respeito à interação entre os processos biológicos e químicos e os de origem física, que configura o quadro final do ambiente de sedimentação, o qual é mais amplo do que o modelo de fácies sedimentológico.A moderna sedimentologia tem como foco principal os processos físicos. Esta abordagem começou a ser utilizada a partir dos anos 1960, e importantes trabalhos didáticos pioneiros foram realizados, entre eles os de Allen (1966, 1968, 1970) e Reineck & Singh (1980). A posição de destaque dos processos de sedimentação é ine-
