Pollen record and age determinations of a profile at Cape Mamontov Klyk, Siberia

Non-glaciated Arctic lowlands in north-east Siberia were subjected to extensive landscape and environmental changes during the Late Quaternary. Coastal cliffs along the Arctic shelf seas expose terrestrial archives containing numerous palaeoenvironmental indicators (e.g., pollen, plant macro-fossils and mammal fossils) preserved in the permafrost. The presented sedimentological (grain size, magnetic susceptibility and biogeochemical parameters), cryolithological, geochronological (radiocarbon, accelerator mass spectrometry and infrared-stimulated luminescence), heavy mineral and palaeoecological records from Cape Mamontov Klyk record the environmental dynamics of an Arctic shelf lowland east of the Taymyr Peninsula, and thus, near the eastern edge of the Eurasian ice sheet, over the last 60 Ky. This region is also considered to be the westernmost part of Beringia, the non-glaciated landmass that lay between the Eurasian and the Laurentian ice caps during the Late Pleistocene. Several units and subunits of sand deposits, peat-sand alternations, ice-rich palaeocryosol sequences (Ice Complex) and peaty fillings of thermokarst depressions and valleys were presented. The recorded proxy data sets reflect cold stadial climate conditions between 60 and 50 Kya, moderate inderstadial conditions between 50 and 25 Kya and cold stadial conditions from 25 to 15 Kya. The Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition, including the Allerød warm period, the early to middle Holocene thermal optimum and the late Holocene cooling, are also recorded. Three phases of landscape dynamic (fluvial/alluvial, irregular slope run-off and thermokarst) were presented in a schematic model, and were subsequently correlated with the supraregional environmental history between the Early Weichselian and the Holocene.

Palynological and stratigraphic record from Löddigsee in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

A Late Pleistocene and Holocene sediment core from the nowadays terrestrialised portion of the Löddigsee in Southern Mecklenburg, Germany was palynologically investigated. The lake is situated in the rarely investigated Young moraine area at the transition from the Weichselian to the Saalian glaciation. The high-resolution pollen diagram contributes to the establishment of the north-eastern German Late Pleistocene pollen stratigraphy. The vegetation distribution pattern after the end of the Weichselian is in good agreement with other studies from North-eastern Germany, but also has its own characteristics. The Holocene vegetation development reveals features from the north-eastern and north-western German lowlands. A special focus was laid on the environmental history of the two settlements on an island within the lake (Late Neolithic and Younger Slavic period), which were preserved under moist conditions. Both settlements were constructed during a period of low lake level. Although there is evidence of agriculture in the area during the respective periods, the two island settlements seem to have served other purposes.

SARAH POULTON KALLEY (1825-1907): Professora, Missionária e Poetisa

Sarah Poulton Kalley é conhecida, em quase todos os segmentos do protestantismo do Brasil, devido à organização e compilação d e Salmos e Hinos, o mais antigo hinário protestante editado no vernáculo em nosso país. Seus hinos, ainda em uso em muitas igrejas, marcaram por mais de um século a teologia do protestantismo no Brasil. Apesar desta notoriedade, sua influência na gênese do protestantismo brasileiro nunca foi objeto de estudo. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é resgatar e visibilizar áreas e estratégias de atuação que conferem a esta mulher um perfil de atuação relativamente autônomo. Contudo, centrada no estudo da trajetória intelectual e biográfica de um sujeito histórico, a investigação se defronta com um universo de personagens anônimos, envoltos numa complexa teia de relações, através das quais o protestantismo se insere no Brasil em um contexto especifico: huguenotes, puritanos, luddistas, famílias não-conformistas inglesas, líderes políticos e eclesiásticos, exilados madeirenses, brasileiros, portugueses, imigrantes alemães e, principalmente, a mulher protestante brasileira. A busca por informações sobre este universo relegado ao anonimato pela historiografia do protestantismo no Brasil, reve lou alguns documentos inéditos, inclusive um livro escrito por Sarah Poulton Kalley, em 1866: o A Alegria da Casa. Muito além do papel de esposa de um missionário e médico, Sarah Poulton Kalley emerge de uma rede de relações e práticas como professora, missionária e poetisa. Nestes três campos de atuação e através do desenvolvimento de múltiplos contatos e relacionamentos, procurava transformar e influenciar atitudes e crenças de seus interlocutores. Junto com a nova fé divulgava uma cosmovisão própria da cultura anglo-saxã, protestante e puritana, adaptando-a seletivamente ao universo cultural e social de seus interlocutores.(AU)
