We present absolute geomagnetic intensities from iron smelting furnaces discovered at the
metallurgical site of Korsimoro, Burkina Faso. Up to now, archaeologists recognized four …

The geomagnetic field variations on the continent of Africa are still largely undeciphered for
the past two millennia. In spite of archaeological artefacts being reliable recorders of the …

This work shows the first archeomagnetic directions from Western Africa measured on 32
iron smelting kilns dated between 650 and 1800 AD. The archeological excavation of the …

Palaeointensity variation is investigated for an inferred time period spanning from 2.34 to
1.96 Ma. Twenty-nine consecutive lava flows are sampled along cliffs 350 m high generated …

The importance of the full understanding of the Holocene geomagnetic field spans from
human history and archaeology, to palaeoclimatic changes and engineering, to …

The understanding of the Earth's magnetic field variations over time on the African continent
is fundamental for several reasons. For instance, the most important feature of the present …

Recognition of the rapid decay of Earth's magnetic field over the last 150 years, chronicled in
magnetic observatory and satellite data, highlights the need for a higher resolution record of …

New full-vector archaeomagnetic data for North Africa recovered from the study of six kilns,
five from Tunisia and one from Morocco, are presented. Archaeological and historical …

First archaeointensity determinations have been obtained from Ethiopia. Seven bricks (34
specimens) from the Däbsan archaeological remains were subjected to archaeointensity …

The geomagnetic field variations during the Iron Age (last 1200 years BC) are poorly
constrained for Bulgarian territory due to the scarcity of archaeological sites with a well …
