Micronesia began to be peopled earlier than other parts of Remote Oceania, but the origins
of its inhabitants remain unclear. We generated genome-wide data from 164 ancient and …

Brazilian shellmounds are archaeological sites with a high concentration of marine faunal
remains. There are more than 2000 sites along the coast of Brazil that range in age from …

The Lagoa Salgada is located in the Paraíba do Sul river delta plain on the coast of Rio de
Janeiro state, Brazil, and is one of the few lagoons in the world that have well-developed …

Many organisms living in the ocean create tests, shells, or related physical structures of
calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As this is most often from dissolved inorganic carbon, using …

In the present work, we assess the chronology of archaeological sites known as earthen
mounds, commonly found at the Pampas biome, among the lowlands of Brazil, Uruguay …

The mixture of different water masses can strongly influence the marine reservoir effect
(MRE) in localities under the effect of coastal marine upwelling. The Cabo Frio region, on the …

Shellmounds are archaeological sites found across the Brazilian coast and form an
important record of the human occupation of this area during the Holocene. The presence of …

Interactions between invader species and the local biota may lead to disequilibria in
regional ecosystems. For such reason, the cultivation of nonnative species may be …

Holocene palaeoceanography and climatic reconstructions were evaluated based on proxy
analyses of fish otoliths from shellmounds located along the coast of Rio de Janeiro State …

Considering the impact of coastal dynamics on the radiocarbon (14C) marine reservoir effect
(MRE), upwelling has the potential of enhancing marine influence, usually 14C depleted …
