Zur Glazialmorphologie und präkeramischen Archäologie des mexikanischen Hochlandes während des Spätglazials (Wisconsin) und Holozäns

Abstract: Four glacier advances can be identified on the 4461 metre high Malinche volcano, recognisable through moraines, glacier abrasions, periglacial deposits (sands, periglacial deposits, varves) and cryoturbations. The sediments of the individual glacier advances are separated from each other by volcanic brecchias, ash and pumice deposits, fluviatile debris, aeolian loess-like deposits, mud flows and various fossil soils. The stratigraphie arrangement of the glacial and periglacial sediments has been based on tephrochronological and paleopedological observations. A number of 14C-age determinations on fossil soils and charcoal supplement the fieldwork. In the Sierra Nevada (Popocatepetl, 5452 metres and Iz taccihuatl, 5286 metres) the traces of a further fifth glacial advance in additional to the four glaciations already mentioned can be found. The glacial traces of the Sierra Nevada can be shown to be parallel to those of the Malinche; in this way the individual glacier advances can be .... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/1692
