Dating Plio-Pleistocene glacial sediments using the cosmic-ray-produced radionuclides 10Be and 26Al
We use the cosmic-ray-produced radionuclides 2 6 Al and 1 0 Be to date Plio-Pleistocene glacial sediment sequences. These two nuclides are produced in quartz at a fixed ratio, but have different…

U-Pb Isotopic Age of the StW 573 Hominid from Sterkfontein, South Africa
TLDR
Measurements on speleothems immediately above and below the fossil remains, corrected for initial 234U disequilibrium, yield an age for StW 573 of close to 2.2 Ma, compatible with a faunal age range of 4 to 2 Ma.
The first hominin of Europe
TLDR
The discovery of a human mandible associated with an assemblage of Mode 1 lithic tools and faunal remains bearing traces of hominin processing in stratigraphic level TE9 at the site of the Sima del Elefante, Atapuerca, Spain emerges as the oldest, most accurately dated record of human occupation in Europe, to the authors' knowledge.
