Evaluating model outputs using integrated global speleothem records of climate ...

Although quantitative isotope data from speleothems has been used to evaluate isotope-enabled model simulations, currently no consensus exists regarding the most appropriate methodology through which to achieve this. A number of modelling groups will be running isotope-enabled palaeoclimate simulations in the framework of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6, so it is timely to evaluate different a...

Problems, Approaches and Fieldwork: 2004-2005

The 2002–2003 discovery in the Pe ş tera cu Oase galleries of the mandible and face of two early modern humans (Chapter 2) raised a series of questions requiring an archeological approach: Did additional remains of those individuals exist? Did the cave also contain a material or behavioral context (e.g., artifacts or features) that could be associated with the fossil fi nds? Did such fi nds document evidence of...

The Paleoenvironmental Context of the Peştera cu Oase

The complex research undertaken at the Pe ş tera cu Oase was triggered by the discovery of the oldest directly dated, substantial modern human remains and by the legitimate hopes that the deposits might yield an archeological context or at least archeological elements. Given the richness of the paleontological deposit and the inevitable complications associated with the evolution of an extensive cave system, a ...

Introduction

Exploration and Documentation of the Peştera cu Oase

Romania is a country dominated by one of the more important mountain chains in Europe, the Carpathian Mountains. They begin in the northwest, in southern Poland, Slovakia, northern Hungary, and southwestern Ukraine, continue southeastward toward the delta of the Danube, then arc strongly around Bra ş ov and extend westward parallel to the Danube, fading out north of the Iron Gates and on to the plains of Banat....

Preface

The Ponor-Plopa Cave System: Description, Sediments, and Genesis

The Ponor-Plopa cave system is located in the central part of the Aninei Mountains, southwest of Steierdorf, a small neighborhood of Anina, at elevations ranging between 575 m (the Ponor) and 545 m (the Plopa resurgence) for the main river cave and ~600 m for the dry caves on the Plopa Plateau. The system includes a total of six caves of which two, Ponor and Plopa, were connected by cave diving. The remaining f...
