  • Eigenwillige Feuersteinartefakte Als Zeugen Einer Flintensteinherstellung Von Der Ostseeküste Des Dänischen Wohlds, Kr. Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein
    Eigenwillige Feuersteinartefakte als Zeugen einer Flintensteinherstellung von der Ostseeküste des Dänischen Wohlds, Kr. Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein Volker Arnold & Renate Jeske Zusammenfassung – Umfangreiche Aufsammlungen von R. Jeske an einer ca. 13 km langen Küstenstrecke um Noer-Lindhöft an der südlichen Eckernförder Bucht konnten zum größten Teil der Herstellung von Flintensteinen zugeordnet werden. Die lokalen eiszeitlichen Ablagerungen sind reich an Flint. Archivalisch ist hier bisher ein Flintensteinschläger für die erste Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts belegt. Die im Strandgeröll gesammelten, umgelagerten und mehr oder weniger gerollten Artefakte repräsentieren Reststücke der Herstellung von abschlagbasierten Flintensteinen („wedges“). Unbearbeitete Abschläge spielen im Fundmaterial eine geringe Rolle. Besonders die kleine- ren Stücke könnten entnommen worden sein, um sie an anderer, bisher noch unbekannter Stelle weiterzubearbeiten. Ein Teil der Funde, wahrscheinlich nicht mehr als 20 %, scheint urgeschichtlichen Ursprungs zu sein. Einige von ihnen konnten dem Spätmesolithikum bis Spätneolithikum zugeordnet werden. Gebrauchsfertig retuschierte Flintensteine oder Feuerschlagsteine konnten bisher nicht identifiziert werden. Die Abfälle, unter denen größere Abschläge mit Negativen auf der Ventralfläche und gurkenförmig gekrümmte Kerne am auffäl- ligsten und eindeutigsten sind, entsprechen den jüngst von J. Weiner aus Südfrankreich vorgelegten Stücken aus dem südfranzösischen Veaux-Malaucène. Allerdings scheint, vielleicht

  • View As One of the Frst to Report That an Appropriate Calculation Method for Missing Values
    Berthold et al. Environ Sci Eur (2019) 31:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12302-019-0208-y RESEARCH Open Access Magnitude and infuence of atmospheric phosphorus deposition on the southern Baltic Sea coast over 23 years: implications for coastal waters Maximilian Berthold1 , Rita Wulf1, Volker Reif1, Ulf Karsten2, Günther Nausch3 and Rhena Schumann1* Abstract Background: There are various ways for nutrients to enter aquatic ecosystems causing eutrophication. Phosphorus deposition through precipitation can be one pathway, besides point sources, like rivers, and difuse runof from land. It is also important to evaluate recent trends and seasonal distribution patterns of phosphorus deposition, as impor- tant difuse source. Therefore, a long-term dataset was analysed including 23 years of daily phosphate bulk deposi- tional rates and 4.5 years of total phosphorus (TP) bulk depositional rates. The study area was at the coastline of the southern Baltic Sea, an area which shows severe eutrophication problems. 2 1 2 1 Results: The median daily deposition of phosphate was 56 µg m− day− (1.8 µmol m− day− ) at 4222 rain events. 2 1 The median annual sum of phosphate deposition was 16.7 kg km− a− , which is comparable to other European areas. The annual TP deposition depended strongly on methodological aspects, especially the sample volume. The 2 1 median TP-depositional rates ranged between 19 and 70 kg km− a− depending on the calculated compensation for missing values, as not every rain event could be measured for TP. The highest TP-depositional rates were measured 2 during summer (e.g. up to 9 kg TP km− in August 2016).

The Keywords: single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol was applied to coarse grain quartz for OSL dating. The Chronology reliability of OSL data was tested with laboratory experiments including dose recovery, recycling ratio and OSL dating recuperation as well as the stratigraphy. We conclude that the sediment is suitable for OSL measurements Quartz Coastal evolution and the derived ages are internally consistent as well as in agreement with the existing stratigraphy and the Baltic Sea geological models of sediment aggradation.

  • Research at the Biological Station Zingst
    Rostock. Meeresbiolog. Beitr. Heft 28 9-19 Rostock 2018 Rhena SCHUMANN* * University of Rostock, Institute of Biological Sciences, Biological Station Zingst, Mühlenstraße 27, 18374 Zingst [email protected] Research at the Biological Station Zingst Abstract The Biological Station Zingst was founded in September 1977. Research in the Darß-Zingst Bodden Chain started in the late 1960ies in cooperation with the Maritime Observatory of the Leipzig University. Data recording began with hydrological parameters and meteorology. Nutrients in the water column were added in the early 1980ies. The (at least) monthly cruises along the salinity and trophy gradient are one central component of the monitoring in this lagoon system. The other major activity is the daily sampling of the Zingster Strom as a site of moderate conditions in this lagoon system. Nutrients and abiotic parameters were monitored from 1980 in an equidistant series. Phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) and seston were added in the late 1990ies. Total nitrogen and phosphorus, bacterio-, phyto- and zooplankton are monitored weekly in summer and biweekly in winter at least since the 1990ies. Microbial activities and food web interactions were investigated experimentally – mostly in enclosure experiments. This article summarises the scientific objectives and main results of research based or supported by the Biological Station. Keywords: inner coastal waters, Southern Baltic, long term ecological research (LTER), mesocosm experiments, eutrophication 1 Introduction The collectivisation of agricultural production was finished in 1960 in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The objective of this process was to guarantee the populace’ provision with foodstuff in a good quality (EWALD 1968). However, the taken measures involved an intensive industrialisation of agricultural production, i.e.
