A geophysical characterization of New River terrace deposits in Giles County, Virginia
… alluvial sediments, commonly referred to as New River terrace deposits, near the town of Pembroke in Giles County, southwest Virginia. Geological and geophysical investigations were utilized to characterize the terrace deposits and investigate the nature of the observed faults. Geologic mapping …

A GIS compilation of field data from the Smith's Fork Archaeological Site (23CL223), Clay County, Missouri
… excavations and a geologic study of river terraces. Used in concert and compiled in a Geographic Information Systems (GIS), these techniques help to delimit the location and use of prehistoric archaeological settlement patterns that favored river terrace and flood plain locations …

Developing a methodology for archaeological prospection on alluvial floodplains with a case study involving the Winckley Lowes barrow sequence, Lancashire.
… employed on floodplains on the confluence of the Rivers Ribble, Hodder and Calder near Clitheroe, Lancashire. This was chosen as a case study due to the presence of three putative burial mounds and one confirmed mound of anthromorphic origin. The results of this investigation provide evidence of …

A Techno-Functional Analysis of Early Archaic Lithic Production Debris: Assessing Technological Practice and Settlement in the Middle Savannah River Valley of South Carolina
… and technological activity in the Middle Savnnah River Valley of South Carolina suggest that Early Archaic (10,000-8,000 BP) peoples enjoyed a high level of mobility, were focused on high quality, siliceous Coastal Plain chert, and were organized in a logistical manner- with large residences in …

LANDSLIDE INVESTIGATION IN THE RÍO AGUAS CATCHMENT, SOUTHEAST SPAIN
… the Rio Aguas Catchment are related to a major river capture and modification of the drainage network that occurred approximately 100Ka BP, and that they are a key component of the geomorphological processes active within the study area. This river capture, driven by differential tectonic uplift …

Cover crop residue effects on machine-induced soil compaction
… Virginia. One set of plots was arranged on a terrace adjacent to the New River in a fine, mixed, mesic, Aquic Argiudolls. Another set of plots was arranged on an upland site, a river terrace tread, in a fine-loamy, mixed, mesic, Typic Hapludults. Three rye cover crop treatments were examined. …

Landscape forcing mechanisms on Quaternary timescales: The Tabernas Basin, SE Spain
… and their associated sedimentary assemblages (river terraces and alluvial fans) often provide important records of long-term landscape evolution. The reconstruction of global terrace sequences has enabled the identification of numerous external and internal forcing mechanisms which operate …

Applications of Roll-Along Electrical Resistivity Surveying in Conjunction with Other Geophysical Methods for Engineering and Environmental Site Characterization
… Excavation of fill material from a 75 acre river terrace in Pembroke exposed an antiform cut by high angle, near surface faults. Geophysical characterization was undertaken to determine the thickness of the alluvial deposit, and the relationship of the faults with structures in the …

Controls on long-term drainage development of the Carboneras Basin, SE Spain
… evolved developing a staircase of straths and terraces. Four terrace levels have been assigned for the Rio Gafares. Detailed investigations of river terrace deposits established an ongoing connection between the adjacent Sorbas Basin and the Carboneras drainage until the Late Pleistocene. A …
