The multidisciplinary research described here shows how archaeologists can help reconstruct past seismic episodes and understand the subsequent relief operation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction processes. In October 1522, a major earthquake and la... Read More about The archaeology of a landslide: Unravelling the Azores earthquake disaster of 1522 and its consequences.

Economic and socio-cultural consequences of changing political rule on human and faunal diets in medieval Valencia (c. fifth–fifteenth century AD) as evidenced by stable isotopes (2019)

Luminescence dating of sediment mounds: associated with shaft and gallery irrigation systems (2019)
Journal Article

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques, supported by geomorphological analysis, have been applied to date the construction of shaft and gallery irrigation systems, more commonly referred to as qanats, falaj and foggara. The approach devel... Read More about Luminescence dating of sediment mounds: associated with shaft and gallery irrigation systems.

Luminescence dating of qanat technology: prospects for further development (2018)
Journal Article
Bailiff, I., Jankowski, N., Snape, L., Gerrard, C., Gutiérrez, A., & Wilkinson, K. (2018). Luminescence dating of qanat technology: prospects for further development. Water History, 10(1), 73-84. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12685-018-0213-x

With few exceptions in which dating is implied by indirect association with adjacent settlements or incorporation of diagnostic artefacts in upcast sediment, individual qanats have proven very difficult to date. This absence of a chronological framew... Read More about Luminescence dating of qanat technology: prospects for further development.
