Southeast African records reveal a coherent shift from high-to low-latitude forcing mechanisms along the east African margin across last glacial–interglacial transition
Late Quaternary climate variability in the southern African subtropics is still only poorly
resolved, with significant complexity and apparent contradictions in the regional dataset. To …

Terrestrial fossil-pollen evidence of climate change during the last 26 thousand years in Southern Africa
In order to define criteria for long-term climate change models in Southern Africa, an
overview of the available pollen data during the Late Quaternary is needed. Here we …

East African mid-Holocene wet–dry transition recorded in palaeo-shorelines of Lake Turkana, northern Kenya Rift
The 'wet'early to mid-Holocene of tropical Africa, with its enhanced monsoon, ended with an
abrupt shift toward drier conditions and was ultimately replaced by a drier climate that has …

Measuring core reduction using 3D flake scar density: a test case of changing core reduction at Klasies River Mouth, South Africa
C Clarkson - Journal of Archaeological Science, 2013 - Elsevier
A new core reduction index is presented, calculated as the ratio of flake scar number to 3D
