Tephrostratigraphy of Limagne revisited. Implications for Late Glacial and Holocene Prehistory.
Résumé
From the Older Dryas to the Atlantic Period, ten pyroclastic formations originating from trachyandesitic and trachytic eruptions covered the plain of the Limagne d'Auvergne and have been preserved in various depositional contexts. They are useful isochronic markers for archaeologists examining their impact on prehistoric behaviours and settlements.
