Abstract

Cremaschi M. et al., Loess in Northern Italy. New insights on dating, environment, and archaeology. (IT ISSN 0349-3356, 2011) Age, sedimentation, soil forming processes, and geoarchaeological implication of the loess in Northern Italy are discussed on the basis of new OSL dating obtained at several key-sequences in the Apennine margin of the Po Plain and on the base of recent literature. The comparison of field data, soil properties, and luminescence ages offers a new perspective in studying the loess of the Po Plain during the MIS 4 to MIS 2.
