Studia Quaternaria

Opis

Studia Quaternaria is an official international journal of the Committee for Quaternary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences that is the national representative of the International Union for Quaternary Research. The journal is a continuation of the journal Quaternary Studies in Poland, published irregularly since 1979.

Studia Quaternaria (the name since 2000) is an interdisciplinary scientific journal that presents achievements of the Quaternary research, among others in geology, geomorphology, zoology, botany, pedology, archaeology, engineering geology, conducted not only in Poland and Europe, but also in other regions of the world. The published papers focus on various aspects of the Quaternary, including climate and environmental changes, environmental protection, vegetation and fauna development, landscape transformation and impact of human activity.

Studia Quaternaria is a peer-reviewed journal with articles published in English and with a DOI number. Potential guest editors who are interested in a thematic volume are kindly requested to contact the Editor-in-Chief.

Kurgans hold exceptional archaeological, natural, and environmental historical significance in the lowland landscape of Eastern Europe, which has been extensively altered by millennia of agricultural activity. By conducting comparative soil and sedimentological analyses of the buried soil levels from kurgan construction, as well as the recent surface soil, we can uncover environmental changes from the latter half of the Holocene. These analyses also reveal how prehistoric human activities influenced local soil and environmental conditions. Our research focused on a geoarchaeological examination of a burial mound in the Hungarian Great Plain. Sedimentological analyses, including grain size distribution and magnetic susceptibility measurements, were performed on samples extracted by drilling from this mound. This comprehensive investigation enabled us to distinguish between different construction layers in the kurgan’s soil material and compare them. Additionally, it was possible to reconstruct steppe-like environmental conditions in the local surroundings of the kurgan before and during its construction.

Abstrakt

The Quaternary, a period spanning the last 2.58 million years, is crucial for understanding the climatic and environmental dynamics that have shaped the modern planet. This article explores how data specific to Morocco fit into the global context of Quaternary studies, drawing parallels between local and global information to reveal significant trends and features. By examining paleoclimatic, geomorphological, archaeological and palaeobotanical data, the analysis highlights similarities and differences between local and global observations. The results show that Moroccan data, although reflecting global trends, present specificities that enrich the understanding of climatic and environmental processes at the regional level. This integration not only makes it possible to complete global models but also to identify the local impacts of climate change, thus offering a more nuanced view of Quaternary dynamics and the challenges posed by current climate change.
