	abstract = {Radiocarbon dating is the method most frequently used to date Holocene deltaic sequences, but less than one quarter of 14C dates are within {\textpm}500 years of predicted age. Such dates tend to be unreliable, in other words, often too old and commonly inverted upsection, and core sample dates obtained near deltaic plain surfaces may be as old as mid- to late Holocene. Stratigraphic irregularities result primarily from downslope reworking of upland alluvial sediment, with displacement of {\textquotedblleft}old carbon{\textquotedblright} in the sediment that accumulates in lower valleys and deltaic plains. Use of dates that are too old results in inaccurately calculated rates (most often too low) of relative sea-level rise and/or land subsidence. More reliable timing of deltaic sediment requires a multiple-method dating approach, including, where possible, identification of associated archaeological material. Developing an accurate dating strategy is a critical step for implementing reliable coastal protection measures needed for the rapidly increasing human populations in these low-lying, vulnerable nearshore settings.},

	abstract = {This study was undertaken to determine whether recent anthropogenic changes in the Nile basin have affected the modern rate of sediment accumulation in the Nile delta. Excess (210)pb, Cs-137, and Pu-239,Pu-240 were used to develop a sediment chronology for a core from central Manzala lagoon, the delta sector which has had the highest average rate of sediment accumulation during the Holocene (to about 0.7 cm year(-1)). Excess Pb-210 was detected in the top 32 cm of the core, yielding an accumulation rate of 1.2 cm year(-1), higher than the mean rate for the Holocene. A high Cs-137/Pu-239,Pu-240 ratio requires a reactor source (possibly Chernobyl) for these nuclides. Low concentrations of excess (210)pb and weapons-fallout nuclides precluded recognition of changes in sediment accumulation rate in Manzala lagoon during this century and may limit the use of tracer radionuclides for modern sediment chronology in the Nile delta.},

	abstract = {The Yangtze delta is a densely populated, low-lying region highly vulnerable to flooding, high tides and typhoons. All previous studies indicated that relative sea level was higher from similar to 7500-4000 yrs. BP, then lowered and stabilized at about present msl during the past 3000 yrs. To the contrary, we find that sea level has been rising relative to the southern Yangtze delta plain based on new sea-level data derived from dated peats, reassessment of earlier sea-level curves and measurement of delta plain subsidence and analysis of prehistoric habitat bases from similar to 7000 to 3000 yrs. BP. Consequences of this relative rise include difficulty in expelling water from the low-lying delta plain to the coast and associated flood damage. Emplacement of the 3-Gorges Dam on the Yangtze will control flooding of the Yangtze river but decrease sediment accumulation on the delta plain that, in turn, is likely to accelerate saline inundation of this vital breadbasket.},

This is about 500 years earlier than previously held. These new finds help define the technology of olive-oil production and refine the chronological definition of cultural units along the southern Levant coast during the 7th millenniumbp, a time of major transition between the end of the Neolithic and beginning of the Chalcolithic.},

	abstract = {The late Holocene sedimentary history of the northwestern edge of the Nile Delta is reconstructed from amino acid racemization, radiocarbon, and stable isotope analysis of a series of bivalve shells from a core taken at the edge of Lake Maryut near Alexandria. Amino acid racemization, confirmed by radiocarbon and stable isotope analysis, indicates that in many parts of the core mixed-age mollusk assemblages are present. Dating of the time of sediment accumulation at various levels in the core is therefore based on the age of the youngest shells, which are identified by amino acid racemization analysis (lowest D/L values). AMS radiocarbon analysis is used to determine the ages of the shells, except for the most recent sediments (last 100 yr), for which aspartic acid racemization provides more precise ages.Amino acid racemization analysis of 59 shells from 21 levels in the 4.8 m Holocene sequence in the core enabled identification of a large hiatus. Holocene sedimentation started at ca. 2400 BC, apparently corresponding to a westward shift of the course of the Canopic Nile distributary which lies to the east. Deposition continued at a rate of 1.4 mm per year, ceasing at ca. 550 BC, at which time the Canopic Nile shifted eastward again and subsequently became defunct. A marine connection during this period is indicated by stable isotope values of shells. Sediment accumulation began again only at the end of the 19th century, when a series of irrigation canals was connected to the Lake Maryut basin. Stable isotope values indicate a strong freshwater influence. Deposition has continued to the present at a very high rate (19 mm per year) due to supply of sediments by agricultural activity.The relative ease with which racemization analyses can be carried out permits detailed analysis of core chronostratigraphy, leading to more accurate reconstruction of core chronology: hiatuses can be pinpointed and documented, and age mixtures can be identified, with appropriate individual shells being selected for AMS radiocarbon analysis. Aspartic acid racemization analysis permits dating of samples from the last several hundred years, a period for which radiocarbon analyses provide poor precision.},

	abstract = {geological and archaeological study of finds at Atlit-Yam, a Pre-Pottery Neolithic settlement submerged off the Carmel coast of northern Israel, provides new information on sediment provenance and dispersal in the southern Levant. Clay mineral analyses of mud-rich samples collected in a water well (ca. 8100-7550 yrs B.P.) at this site are useful for determining the early Holocene circulation pattern along this margin. Analyses record the predominance of fluvial sediment from proximal Carmel highland sources to the east, as indicated by illite, and of marine sediment from the north and northeast, as indicated by kaolinite. This north-to-south coastal transport is in marked contrast to the present south-to-north dispersal pattern where smectite-rich Nile material is derived from distal sources and carried hundreds of kilometers to the Carmel margin. The interpreted coastal circulation pattern indicates that although the modern Nile delta, major source of sediment in the eastern Mediterranean, had begun to form about 8000-7500 yrs ago, it had not yet begun to supply substantial amounts of sediment to as far north as the Carmel coast by the time the water well was abandoned. The Atlit-Yam site serves as a unique geochronologic gauge valuable for interpreting climatic, oceanographic and sedimentologic conditions in the SE Mediterranean which, as recently as 7500 yrs ago, were markedly different than those prevailing at present.},
