The new data are discussed together with recently obtained data from Corchia and other localities in the central Mediterranean, to elucidate the possible origin and regional articulation of a climatic event centred at ca. 4.0 ka. This analyses indicates that central to southern Italy between ca 3.8 and 4.3 ka was characterized by drier conditions, whereas in Northern Italy the event seems less expressed or, as within the Alps, marked by cooler and wetter conditions. Several lines of evidence suggest that this event could be characterized by longer summer drought and possibly by little impact on precipitation during winter, even if this aspect needs to be explored in more detail. However, the event is particularly prominent in the northern sector of the African Monsoon domain, which has been robustly linked to southward s...

(IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2009) The Late Holocene progradation of the Versilia coastal-plain, between Camaiore and Viareggio (Tuscany, Italy), was investigated on the basis of geomorphological, stratigraphical, and archaeological data. Five geomorphological units, corresponding to the Camaiore alluvial fan, beach-dune ridges, interdune marshes, a back dune marsh (Giardo and related Massaciuccoli lake area), and the presentday beach, were identified. Archaeological data provide some chronological constraints on the timing of Late Holocene coastal progradation. About 3000 yrs ago, the coastline was located about 2,5 km landward in respect to its present-day position, in the proximity of the Migliarina beach dune, behind which a marsh ar...

The location of the shoreline at roman times in the surroundings of the ancient city of Luna is still an unresolved problem. Many archaeo- logical surveys have been carried out in the area especially since the 1970s; they have supplied a great number of infor - mation about the different settling phases. None of them, though, clearly outlined the position of the shoreline, nor provided a reliable scenario of the Portus Lunae palaeoge - ography. archaeological tradition suggested that the sea was lapping the western and southern city walls, so that the they were supposed to form an indentation to follow the coast - line irregular profile. This geoarchaeological study, based on geomorphological mapping, stratigraphic and chronostrati - graphic analyses supported by archaeological data, disproves some old theories and constrains the tract of the Magra River alluvial plain where the roman times'...

Bini, Glacial landforms in the Apuan Alps (Tuscany Italy): features in danger of extinction. (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). The remaining glacial landforms of the Apuan Alps are of great scientific interest, but they are not adequately exploited, and even their very conservation is in peril, despite the protective limitations imposed by the Regional Park of the Apuan Alps. From a first analysis of remaining glacial landforms, two sites in particular have been identified as being worthy of special attention, for different reasons: the Arni moraine and the glacial complex of Campocatino.

They are developing forms constantly attempting to reach a temporary equilibrium depending on the current morphoclimatic regime. The dynamicity of the geomorphosites poses practical and theorical issues as regards to the management of such sites. In fact, if these forms are in evolution is it right to set about conserving a stage of that evolution? Moreover it is difficult to conserve with current rigid legislative procedures a dynamic element such as geomorphosites, their ongoing evolution poses problems for our system of limits, which are essentially based on geometrical considerations. Nevertheless, the dynamicity of geomorphosites represents an extraordinary tool for education, to fully understand and interpret the landscape and its complex equilibria.

The tephra is interbedded within slope deposits mixed with colluvial loess. The identification of this fundamental stratigraphic marker is based on major elements. The investigated succession is correlated to lacustrine records from Ohrid and Prespa lakes, several archives of the central and eastern Mediterranean, and mainland Ukraine and Russia. Field observations and correlation with lacustrine records (i.e. pollen) indicate that accumulation of the volcanic ash occurred in a dry environment characterized by low vegetation cover and important wind activity, which promoted loess deposition. The recognition of the Campanian Ignimbrite tephra allows the correlation of the loess sediments to the H4 event, as defined in the North Atlantic event climatic stratigraphy.
