Dating the Tejo river lower terraces in the Ródão area (Portugal) to assess the...
Cunha, P.,; Martins, A.; Huot, S.; Murray, A.; Raposo, L.,The Tejo river is one of the major drainages in Iberian Peninsula; it is a long-lived system (ca. 3.4 Ma) and provides an archive of long-term landscape development and environmental change controlled by tectonics, climate and eustasy. The most upstream Portuguese reach of the Tejo river, ∼200 km from the Atlantic coast, shows evidence for five fluvial terraces (T1 to T5) with elevations reaching more than 120 ...
Geoarchaeology of Pleistocene open-air sites in the Vila Nova da Barquinha-Sant...
Martins, A.,; Cunha, P.,; Rosina, P., .; Oosterbeek, L.; Cura, S.,; Gomes, J.,; Grimaldi, S.,; Buylaert, J.,; Murray, A.,; Matos, JThis paper aims to provide insight into human occupation and landscape change during the Pleistocene in a central area of the Lower Tejo basin (Portugal). Detailed geomorphological mapping, coupled with lithostratigraphy, sedimentology and luminescence dating, supports the identification of a complete terrace staircase sequence. It consists of six gravely terraces located below the culminant (Pliocene) basin un...
