> Environmental changes in historical times near Kecel on the Danube-Tisza Interfluve, Hungary (Archaeological exploration and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating)
A major advantage of luminescence dating is that it enables the direct dating of sediments containing quartz. Up till the last couple years Hungarian researches applying luminescence have mainly been concentrating on the dating of loess profiles, and hardly any attempts were made on the investigation of the sediments of historic times, in order to complement archeological findings and results. Th! is work will present a complex analysis based on archaeological research and OSL dating. The growing population, the development of agricultural techniques and the changes in land use caused human induced environmental changes, which became increasingly significant in history. Good examples on it can be found on the Danube-Tisza Interfluve where the change in climatic conditions and the anthropogenic disturbance both caused aeolian activity during historical times. Therefore the original geomorphological setting of the area transformed, the Pleistocene forms were reshaped by Holocene sand-movements. The present work will provide good evidence on sand movement in historical times caused by human impact on the environment with the help of OSL dating and archaeological research in the vicinity of the village of Kecel, which is located on the largest blown-sand area of Hungary on the Danube-Tisza Interfluve.
