“…A similar aeolian deposition at this time has been also observed elsewhere (Bateman et al, 2000;Derese et al, 2009;Kadlec et al, 2015;Kaliń ska-Nartiša and Nartišs, 2016b;Sitzia et al, 2015;Margielewski et al, 2015). Regionally, a cold and dry climate interval has been noted in E and SE Latvia between 14,200 and 13,300 cal.…”

A similar evolution was also determined for several western and central European valleys (Schwan, 1987; Vandenberghe & Van Huissteden, 1988; Bohncke et al, 1995; Van Huissteden & Kasse, 2001; Vandenberghe et al, 2013; Zieliński et al, 2014; Kadlec et al, 2015) and was related to increasing climatic aridity during the Late Pleniglacial (Kasse, 1997, 2002; Kasse et al, 2007).…”

The fluvial development of the Roer river in the southeastern Netherlands and western Germany is presented for the Late Pleniglacial, Late-glacial and Early Holocene periods. Reconstruction of fluvial-style changes is based on geomorphological and sedimentological analysis. Time control comes from correlation to the pollen-based biochronostratigraphic framework of the Netherlands combined with independent optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages. At the Pleniglacial to Late-glacial transition a system and channel pattern change occurred from an aggrading braided to an incising meandering system. Rapid rates of meander migration, as established for the Late-glacial by optical dating, were likely related to the sandy nature of the substratum and the Late-glacial incision of the Meuse that resulted in a higher river gradient in the downstream part of the Roer. In the Roer valley the Younger Dryas cooling is not clearly reflected by a fluvial system response, but this may also be related to Holocene erosion of Younger Dryas fluvial forms. An important incision and terrace formation was established at the Younger Dryas to Early Holocene transition, probably related to forest recovery, reduced sediment supply and base-level lowering of the Meuse. The results of this study show a stepwise reduction in the number of channel courses from a multi-channel braided system in the Pleniglacial, to a double meander-belt system in the Late-glacial and a single-channel meandering system in the Early Holocene. The results show that the forcing factors of fluvial-system change in the Roer valley are climate change (precipitation, permafrost and vegetation) and downstream base-level control by the Meuse.

Sedimentological archives for the region show significant landscape instability and high rates of erosion, which would have impeded the development of organic soils, while braided river systems characterised surface hydrological features (Pokorný 2002;Žák et al 2012;Hošek et al 2014Hošek et al , 2019Kadlec et al 2015; Fig. 6f and g).…”

“…Dating to after c. 14,000 cal. BP, the Epimagdalenian occurred during a period of warmer, wetter climate when an increase in pine and birch woodland is evident in local pollen records (Pokorný and Jankovská 2000 ; Nerudová et al 2014 ; Kadlec et al 2015 ). Such environmental changes are reflected in the spectrum of exploited fauna, with red deer, elk, and large bovids becoming more common in the zooarchaeological assemblages of the region (Valoch 1988 , 2001 ).…”

Kůlna Cave is the only site in Moravia, Czech Republic, from which large assemblages of both Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian archaeological materials have been excavated from relatively secure stratified deposits. The site therefore offers the unrivalled opportunity to explore the relationship between these two archaeological phases. In this study, we undertake radiocarbon, stable isotope (carbon, nitrogen and sulphur), and ZooMS analysis of the archaeological faunal assemblage to explore the chronological and environmental context of the Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian deposits. Our results show that the Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian deposits can be understood as discrete units from one another, dating to the Late Glacial between c. 15,630 cal. BP and 14,610 cal. BP, and c. 14,140 cal. BP and 12,680 cal. BP, respectively. Stable isotope results (δ13C, δ15N, δ34S) indicate that Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian activity at Kůlna Cave occurred in very different environmental settings. Magdalenian occupation took place within a nutrient-poor landscape that was experiencing rapid changes to environmental moisture, potentially linked to permafrost thaw. In contrast, Epimagdalenian occupation occurred in a relatively stable, temperate environment composed of a mosaic of woodland and grassland habitats. The potential chronological gap between the two phases, and their associations with very different environmental conditions, calls into question whether the Epimagdalenian should be seen as a local, gradual development of the Magdalenian. It also raises the question of whether the gap in occupation at Kůlna Cave could represent a change in settlement dynamics and/or behavioural adaptations to changing environmental conditions.
