Sea level and paleotemperature records from a mid-Holocene reef on the North coast of Java, Indonesia

Dinas Head is a promontory 4 miles west of Padstow, jutting out into the sea from Trevose Head, and separated from it by an isthmus about 100 feet above sea-level, which is washed clear of soil by the ground seas which sweep over it from the north. The headland is 165 feet above sea-level at its highest point, and is almost as broad from north to south as it is long from east to west. The base and foreshore of the headland appear to be entirely composed of greenstone containing much calcite. The microscope shows it to be probably an altered dolerite.

This Article is intended less as a descriptive piece on the archaeology of the Rimac Valley than it is as a single-valley application of various conclusions reached by Richard P. Schaedel in his Major Ceremonial and Population Centers in Northern Peru (1951). Schaedel, in a broad synthetic study of major ruins on the North Coast of Peru, comes to several interesting conclusions on the “urban revolution” in that region. The author, who was already engaged in a survey of the Rimac, with the focus on the coastal cultures from sea level to the 1000-meter line, felt impelled to shift the emphasis of his survey from straight description to a Central Coast application of Schaedel's North Coast findings. This was a fairly easy task, as the sites were already being analyzed both architecturally and ceramically.The Rimac, the “valley of Lima,” presents sufficient of both typical and atypical features of a Peruvian coastal valley to make the application of Schaedel's theories to a single valley at least fairly indicative of their validity for the entire Peruvian coast.

Sea skatersHalobates matsumuraiEsaki andAsclepios shiranui(Esaki) are among the few marine insects found in Japan. For the past several decades, they have become rare in most localities and have now been designated as endangered by the government. In order to understand their adaptive strategies to the marine environment and to develop conservation measures, it is essential to know their life histories. We studied their lifecycles in Kujukushima Bay off the north coast of Kyushu (Japan) where they co-occurred in small coves along the jagged coast. They appeared to have more than one generation a year and to overwinter in the egg stage. Eggs ofH. matsumuraiwere laid on natural sandstones and man-made sandstone walls along the shore, mostly above the average sea level. The eggs had very hard shells, presumably adaptive to protect them from desiccation, solar radiation, and wave action, especially during the overwintering period.

Glacial Landforms

Late Wisconsinan age glacial landforms and deposits indicate that an ice shelf of at least 60,000 km2 flowed northwestward into Viscount Melville Sound, probably from the M'Clintock Dome of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The ice shelf overlapped coastal areas and laid Winter Harbour Till up to 125 m above present sea level on the southern coast of Melville Island, to 135 m on Byam Martin Island, to possibly 90 m on the northeast tip of Banks Island, and to 150 m on the north coast of Victoria Island. The contemporary sea level was 50 to 100 m higher than present (it now rises eastward). A maximum age of 10,340 ± 150 yr B.P. for the till, and thus the ice-shelf advance, is provided by shells in marine sediments which underlie it, whereas a minimum age of 9880 ± 150 yr B.P. is provided by overlying shells that postdate the ice advance. The major advance of shelf ice into Viscount Melville Sound may be the result of the rapid disintegration of the M'Clintock Dome while the climate ameliorated in the western Arctic.

Abstract Melville Peninsula lies within the Foxe/Baffin Sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Pre-Foxe/Pre-Wisconsin ice may have covered the entire peninsula. Preserved regolith in uplands indicates a subsequent weathering interval. Striations and till types indicate that, during the last (Foxe) glaciation, a local ice sheet (Melville Ice) initially developed on plateaus, but was later subsumed by the regional Foxe ice sheet. Ice from the central Foxe dome flowed across northern areas and Rae Isthmus, while ice from a subsidiary divide controlled flow on southern uplands. Ice remained cold-based and non-erosive on some plateaus, but changed from cold- to warm-based under other parts of the subsidiary ice divide, and was warm-based elsewhere. Ice streaming, generating carbonate till plumes, was prevalent during deglaciation. A late, quartzite-bearing southwestward ice flow from Baffin Island crossed onto the north coast. A marine incursion began in Committee Bay about 14 ka and advanced southwards to Wales Island by 8.6 ka. The marine-based ice centre in Foxe Basin broke up about 6.9 ka. Northern Melville Peninsula and Rae Isthmus were deglaciated rapidly, but remnant ice caps remained active and advanced into some areas. The ice caps began to retreat from coastal areas ~6.4 to 6.1 ka, by which time sea level had fallen from 150-180 m to 100 m.

Pati is a region on the north coast, according to the hypothesis of the researcher, the region is divided into three categories. The northern regions are more religious, the central is more plural, while the southern region is in the middle. In the central region there are many relics of tombs believed to be the those of the Muslim proselytizers in the area of Pati. The one that attracts the researcher is a tomb in the Gambiran area, where there are five local Muslim saints buried, one of them belons to mbah Hendro Kusumo, the son of Syech Ahmad Mutamakkin. This article attempts to trace back the spreading of Islam in Pati based on the existence of thetomb of Mbah Hendro Kusumo. It wants to answer question of whethere the existence of his tomb is due to his studying there or marital relationship, and how it relates to the spreading of Islam.Keywords: Mbah Hendro Kusumo, Traces of Islamic Dakwah, Islam

The Tyara site, KkFb-7 in the National Museum catalogue and site file, faces the north coast of the Ungava mainland and rests on the west shore of Sugluk Island (Fig. 1). That island stands about five hundred yards from the mainland and from Sugluk Inlet, one of the few good harbors on that coast. This handsome little island, about one and one-half miles long and as wide, consists of rounded, rugged, hardrock hills that shelter well-vegetated, generally flat-floored valleys. The valleys often contain marshy patches. The shore, of variable incline, is quite jagged, a result of abrupt rock outcrops projecting seaward from brief stretches of sandy beach. The shore facing the mainland is, therefore, quite convenient for small boat use. Dark grey gneisses seem to predominate, although they are often cut by dykes and veins of lighter material, notably quartz. The dense, green valley and hillside vegetation includes willows, mosses, grasses, lichens, and a pleasant profusion of arctic wild flowers (Polunin 1948, Pt. III). I was told at Sugluk that at the head of the inlet, willows, growing in protected situations, reach the thickness of a man's wrist.
