Castro Marim is an Iron Age site from the Algarve region, Portugal. The earliest evidence of settlement, from the Late Bronze Age, dates to the 9th century BCE, with the Phoenician-Punic period dating from the 7th to the 3rd century BCE. This study focuses on the stable isotope analysis of plant and collagen of faunal remains to reconstruct cultivation and husbandry practices. Barley was the most abundantly cul...
Understanding the nature and tempo of global environmental responses to the ∼74,000 BP (∼74 ka) Toba volcanic super-eruption is based primarily on historical analogies and climate models that lack ground-truthing in regions distal to eruptions. Here, we report the first proxy-based terrestrial record of the immediate environmental impact of the Younger Toba Tuff (YTT) eruption on the homininoccupied ecosystem i...
A erupção de ~74ka Toba é considerada o maior evento vulcânico explosivo dos últimos 23 milhões de anos, com um Índice de Explosividade Volcânica (VEI) de 8,8. Pensa-se que tenha causado um caos global, levando a um arrefecimento global drástico e a um estrangulamento populacional. Muitos registos climáticos globais e estudos de simulação mostraram que ~74ka erupção de Toba teve um impacto severo no hemisfério ...
