Timing and characteristics of Late Pleistocene and Holocene wetter periods in the Eastern Desert and Sinai of Egypt, based on 14C dating and stable isotope analysis of spring tufa deposits
M.A. Hamdan,George A. Brook +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the ages of relict tufa carbonates in the Eastern Desert and Sinai Peninsula of Egypt during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene, and showed that the tufas were largely formed during two broad time periods, the most recent from 12,058 to 6678, and the other from ∼31,200-22,500,cal-yr BP, with preferential growth during the coldest times of this period namely during Heinrich Events 2 and 3 (H2 and H3) and the Last Glacial Maximum (L

An exploratory Early and Middle Holocene sedimentary record with palynoforms and diatoms from Faiyum lake, Egypt
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the sedimentology, pollen and diatom records in a 26m long core of Holocene sediments from the Tersa area, near the centre of the Faiyum Depression (Egypt).

Stephanodiscus Ehr. species from Holocene sediments in the Faiyum Depression (Middle Egypt)
TL;DR: These sections indicate that the lake initially formed by rapid in filling to a considerable depth with freshwater and the diatom-rich marls containing abundant Stephanodiscus and Aulacoseira Thwaites species.
Source of Nile sediments in the floodplain at Saqqara inferred from mineralogical, geochemical, and pollen data, and their palaeoclimatic and geoarchaeological significance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the relationship between Nile floods and global climate changes and the impact of changing flood conditions on episodes of societal and central governmental collapse at the end of the Egyptian Old Kingdom.

Holocene paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic and geoarchaeological significance of the Sheikh El-Obeiyid area (Farafra Oasis, Egypt)
M.A. Hamdan,Giulio Lucarini +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the combination of archaeological and geological data sets was used to obtain a synthesis of Holocene occupational and environmental history in the Sheikh El-Obeiyid region of the Farafra Depression, Egypt.
