Data

The Laguna de Medina is a semi-permanent salt lake in southern Spain. As part of a drilling campaign in March 2015, 47 samples of recent lacustrine sediments were taken of the lake by using a gravity corer. In addition the lake depth was measured at each sampled point. The taken samples were analyzed for their content of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur (CNS). Also the sediment was tested for it’s amount of total organic and inorganic carbon. It turns out that the recent lake sediment, specifially on the...

Sedimentological investigations of drill cores of the Laguna de Medina, southern Spain

The Laguna Salada in southern Spain is a type of Playa Lake and constitutes an important climate archive for the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The focus of this study, as part of the CRC 806 – Our Way to Europe, project C3, is to reconstruct the climatic and environmental history of the Iberian Peninsula during the Late Glacial and Holocene on a high resolution. Therefor, several drills were carried out in and around the Lake and were merged in one 11.70 m long sediment sequence. In the context...

Due to its location in an endorheic basin the Laguna Grande in southern Spain represents a well conserved climate archive for paleoclimatologists to reconstruct the climate of the Holocene of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly in southern Spain. Necessary data were obtained by analyzing drilled lacustrine sediment sequences. Integrated in the C3 project of the Collaborative Research Center 806 “Our Way To Europe” the study focuses on investigations concerning climate anomalies and environmental conditions...

This poster presents the first results of an attempt to classify archaeological sites by landform analysis of the landscape. To make further use of modelled DEM-derived site catchments, it is possible to classify the relief to be able to compare the sites environment quantitatively. To achieve that goal, we implemented the TPI-based landform classification approach from Weiss (2001) in ArcGIS and applied it to a study area in Andalusia (Spain) to compare the results for various Solutrean sites. The applied...
