A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago (2008)
Journal Article
Osborne, A. H., Vance, D., Rohling, E. J., Barton, N., Rogerson, M., & Fello, N. (2008). A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 105(43), 16444-16447. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0804472105

It is widely accepted that modern humans originated in sub-Saharan Africa ≈150-200 thousand years ago (ka), but their route of dispersal across the currently hyperarid Sahara remains controversial. Given that the first modern humans north of the Saha... Read More about A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago.

The radiocarbon reservoir effect: new evidence from the cemeteries of the middle and lower Dnieper basin, Ukraine (2008)
Journal Article
Lillie, M., Budd, C., Potekhina, I., & Hedges, R. (2009). The radiocarbon reservoir effect: new evidence from the cemeteries of the middle and lower Dnieper basin, Ukraine. Journal of archaeological science, 36(2), 256-264. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2008.09.005

This paper presents preliminary results of new radiocarbon dating of human, faunal and fish skeletal remains from a number of the cemeteries from the Middle and Lower Dnieper Basin, Ukraine. The results appear to demonstrate the presence of a radioca... Read More about The radiocarbon reservoir effect: new evidence from the cemeteries of the middle and lower Dnieper basin, Ukraine.

A dynamic explanation for the origin of the western Mediterranean organic-rich layers (2008)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Cacho, I., Jimenez-Espejo, F., Reguera, M. I., Sierro, F. J., Martinez-Ruiz, F., …Canals, M. (2008). A dynamic explanation for the origin of the western Mediterranean organic-rich layers. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 9(7), n/a-n/a. https://doi.org/10.1029/2007gc001936

The eastern Mediterranean sapropels are among the most intensively investigated phenomena in the paleoceanographic record, but relatively little has been written regarding the origin of the equivalent of the sapropels in the western Mediterranean, th...

Evaluation of the Titan2D two-phase flow model using an actual event: case study of the 2005 Vazcún Valley Lahar (2008)
Journal Article
Williams, R., Stinton, A. J., & Sheridan, M. F. (2008). Evaluation of the Titan2D two-phase flow model using an actual event: case study of the 2005 Vazcún Valley Lahar. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 177(4), 760-766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2008.01.045

Titan2D is a depth-averaged, thin-layer computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, suitable for simulating a variety of geophysical mass flows. Titan2D output data include flow thickness and flow momentum at each time step for all cells traversed by th...

Southwest Scottish Crannogs: using in situ studies to assess preservation in wetland archaeological contexts (2008)
Journal Article
Lillie, M., Smith, R., Reed, J., & Inglis, R. (2008). Southwest Scottish Crannogs: using in situ studies to assess preservation in wetland archaeological contexts. Journal of archaeological science, 35(7), 1886-1900. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2007.11.029

This paper presents the results of in situ monitoring of waterlogged burial contexts in southwest Scotland. The sites investigated are Iron Age crannogs (lake dwellings) which have a proven waterlogged archaeological component, and which are being as...
