This can be a piece of ancient pottery or flint, but also the 20<sup>th</sup> c. CE dry stone remains of long forgotten buildings. We collect finds and record structures taking precise location points using GPS. This results in a map with all our findings.

These are tools which allow us to take a look at what lies under the surface without removing the soil. In the Pollino we used two different methods: ground penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometry. A GPR sends out high-frequency radar pulses and then registers the time it takes the pulses to bounce back on whatever lies underneath the surface. This way the GPR can detect objects or changes in the material in the ground. A magnetometer measures local variations in the Earth’s magnetic field. Since different objects or soil types have different magnetic properties, we can record local changes in soil materials near the surface. This way we can detect walls, ditches, fireplaces, and refuse pits.</p> 395</div> 396</div> 397 398 399 400<div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> 401<div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> 402<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coring</h2> 403 404 405 406<p>Climate change and human impact cause erosion and sedimentation. By coring in places where sediment accumulates, we obtain data for the reconstruction of the changing environment of the Pollino landscape. We use a handheld auger to collect series of soil samples in sequences of 25 cm, sometimes reaching depths of several meters. The photo shows a sequence of such soil cores from the Piano dei Moranesi containing botanical remains (pollen, seeds, charcoal, spores of funghi) and volcanic ash layers. This particular sequence covers the Middle Bronze Age to the Roman period and provides important evidence for variations in vegetation cover caused by climate changes, natural disasters, and human impact.

Soils are archives that hold information on vegetation and climate, for instance in the soil cores we collected at the Piano dei Moranesi. They can also inform us on local circumstances that affected the deposition of soil material, like erosion or water transport. For instance: in dry, cold periods such as Ice Ages, there are only few plants that survive in mountain zones. Fine sand particles can easily blow away under such circumstances, and can travel long distances. In the Pollino we find pockets of such old fine sand deposits, landed when Neanderthals and early Homo Sapiens roamed the mountains. Similar effects today are the Sahara sands that regularly arrive in the Pollino with southern winds.</p> 518 519 520 521<p>We can date old soil deposits in different ways. The first is by looking at archaeological artefacts trapped in them, which we can compare with other sites with similar finds. Pottery gives good dating clues, although prehistoric pottery made under low temperatures breaks easily and therefore does not conserve very well. The stone artefacts of the early hunter-gatherers in the Pollino are also dating tools. By looking at the technologies used to produce stone tools, we can tell when they were made. This way we are able, for instance, to distinguish Neanderthal presence (Middle Palaeolithic) from early Homo Sapiens (Late Palaeolithic).</p> 522 523 524 525<p>We can also obtain more accurate chronologies from soil samples. A well-known technology is <a class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="<div class=glossaryItemTitle>Protected: Radiocarbon dating</div><div class=glossaryItemBody>&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;Also known as &lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt;C-dating. A scientific dating method to determine the age of organic matter by measuring the level of radioactive decay in the material. This method allows us to date ecofacts between the present and 50.000 years ago.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;</div>" href="https://pollinoproject.com/glossary/radiocarbon-dating/" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>radiocarbon dating</a>. However, for very old soils we have to use another technique: <a class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="<div class=glossaryItemTitle>Protected: Optically Stimulated Luminescence</div><div class=glossaryItemBody>&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;A scientific dating method that measures how long ago a mineral was last exposed to sunlight. It is mainly used to date geological layers, but can also be used on pottery. This methods allows for dating as far back as 400.000 years ago. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;</div>" href="https://pollinoproject.com/glossary/optically-stimulated-luminescence/" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]' tabindex='0' role='link'>optically stimulated luminescence</a> (OSL). The University of Innsbruck dated soil samples from an erosion gully near Grande Porta di Pollino. The results confirm that the fine sands here were deposited during the Middle and Late Palaeolithic, before and after the last glaciation of the Pollino mountains.</p> 526</div> 527</div> 528 529 530 531<p></p> 532 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 533</article><!-- #post-225 --> 534 535 </main><!-- #main --> 536 537 538 539 </div><!-- #content --> 540 541 542 <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer has-footer-widgets" role="contentinfo"> 543 <div class="inner-wrap"> 544 545 546 <aside class="footer-widgets widgets widget-columns-3" role="complementary" aria-label="Footer"> 547 548 <div class="widget-column footer-widget-1"> 549 <section id="block-25" class="widget widget_block"> 550<h2 class="wp-block-heading" style="padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0">Sponsors</h2> 551</section><section id="block-30" class="widget widget_block"> 552<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0" class="wp-block-list"> 553<li style="line-height:1.1"><a href="https://parconazionalepollino.it/" data-type="link" data-id="https://parconazionalepollino.it/">-Ente Parco Nazionale del Pollino</a></li> 554 555 556 557<li><a href="https://www.rug.nl/research/groningen-institute-of-archaeology/?lang=en" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.rug.nl/research/groningen-institute-of-archaeology/?lang=en">-Groningen Institute of Archaeology</a></li> 558 559 560 561<li><a href="https://www.ugent.be/lw/archeologie/en" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.ugent.be/lw/archeologie/en">-Ghent University</a></li> 562</ul> 563</section> </div> 564 <div class="widget-column footer-widget-2"> 565 <section id="block-31" class="widget widget_block"> 566<ul class="wp-block-list"> 567<li><a href="https://www.uni-bamberg.de/en/iadk/archaeology/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.uni-bamberg.de/en/iadk/archaeology/">-Bamberg University</a></li> 568 569 570 571<li><a href="https://www.cvtfonds.nl/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cvtfonds.nl/">-Catharina van Tussenbroek Foundation</a></li> 572 573 574 575<li><a href="https://snmap.nl/" data-type="link" data-id="https://snmap.nl/">-Stichting Nederlands Museum voor Anthropologie en Praehistorie (Foundation SNMAP)</a></li> 576</ul> 577</section> </div> 578 <div class="widget-column footer-widget-3"> 579 <section id="block-33" class="widget widget_block"> 580<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contact</h2> 581</section><section id="block-32" class="widget widget_block widget_text"> 582<p>[email protected]</p> 583</section> </div> 584 585 </aside><!-- .widget-area --> 586 587 <div class="site-footer-separator"></div> 588 589 590<div class="site-info"> 591 <a class="privacy-policy-link" href="https://pollinoproject.com/privacybeleid/" rel="privacy-policy">Privacybeleid</a><span role="separator" aria-hidden="true"></span> <span class="copyright"> 592 <span>
