The Maisières-Interstadial is a warm phase of the Vistula high glacial . It dates from 30,500 to 29,500 BC. Chr.
designation
The Maisières-Interstadial, French oscillation de Maisières , called Maisièrien in archeology , is named after the eponymous archaeological site Maisières-Canal near Mons in Belgium . The site is on the Canal du Center between the municipalities of Maisières and Obourg . Previously, the Interstadial was also known as the Kesselt Interstadial in specialist literature. Maisièrien was introduced in 1980 by JB Campbell.
Stratigraphy and Correlation
The Maisières-Interstadial follows on from the previous Denekamp-Interstadial . This is followed by the cold setback of the Heinrich event H3 and then the Tursac Interstadial . It forms part of the marine isotope stage MIS 3 and correlates with the Dansgaard-Oeschger event DO5 . or with the Greenland Interstadial GI-5 . The end of the Maisières interstadial marks the beginning of the pleniglacial palynologically (ice build-up phase of the last ice age maximum ). It correlates in the pollen profile of La Grande Pile in the Vosges with the level Grand Bois C and in the profile of Tenaghi-Philippon in Macedonia with the level Krinides 2 .
Dating
With the help of the δ 18 O values of the Greenland ice core GISP 2, the Maisières Interstadial can be traced back to a period of around 30,500 to 29,500 years BC. Assign. The Heinrich event H3 begins at 28,000 BC. A. In the intervening period 29,500 to 28,000 BC. A subordinate heat anomaly ( Bayacia ) follows , which may still be part of the Maisières interstadial. The humus-rich find layer at the type locality was dated with 27,965 ± 265 radiocarbon years BP , this corresponds to, calibrated (with CalPal) 30528 ± 340 years BC. Chr .; Reindeer bones gave 28,130 + 1020 / - 900 (30,821 BC) and mammoth bones 28,340 ± 300 radiocarbon years BP (30,821 ± 407 BC).
Laville (1988) gave a somewhat older time span with 27,800 to 29,000 radiocarbon years (30,375 to 31,562 BC) and Wolfgang Weißmüller gave 28,600 to 29,300 radiocarbon years (31,087 to 31,776 BC).
characterization
The Maisières interstadial is a very clear heat anomaly. Their δ 18 O values fluctuate by 5.5 ‰ (between - 43 and - 37.5 ‰). This corresponds to an increase in average temperatures of 6 ° C and in the Greenland ice according to GISP 2 of 12.5 ° C. The subsequent subordinate heat anomaly only brought an increase of just under 2 ° C or 4 ° C in Greenland for comparison.
fauna
Remains of the following taxa were found at the type locality:
Among the small mammals were found
as well as the birds
vegetation
The rapid increase in temperature and precipitation in the Maisières Interstadial caused birch , hazel and oak to spread over the sparse, stadial coniferous forest with predominantly pine and juniper . The Artemisia steppe with foxtail family (Chenopodiaceae), sun rose (Helianthemum) and meadow rue (Thalictrum) increasingly gave way to grasslands ( grasses , sour grasses (Cyperaceae) and buttercups (subg. Batrachium)), which were dominated by sweet grasses (Poaceae). Spawning herbs (Potamogeton) and hedgehog cob (Sparganium) spread at water locations .
Cultural development
The Maisières Interstadial began from 28,000 radiocarbon years BP or 30,524 BC. The Gravettien with its early forms, the Maisièrien and the Pavlovien . At the same time the Aurignacien came to an end with the stages Aurignacien 4a and Aurignacien 4b .
The Maisièrien is characterized above all by the Maisières tips , which are similar to the Font Robert tips . Other typical tools are drills with a diamond-shaped cross-section (French: burin dièdre ) and handle blades (English. Tanged points ). In general, handled tools and flat retouching (French: retouche plate ) are common.
In addition to the Belgian type locality, the Maisièrien was found in several caves in the Swabian Jura such as the Geißenklösterle , the Hohle Fels and the Vogelherd cave , as well as the Weinberghöhlen bei Mauern in Bavaria . In Moravia , Dolní Věstonice should be mentioned, in France the Abri Pataud near Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil , Le Sire near Mirefleurs and possibly La Vigne Brun near Roanne . In central and southern Siberia , Anui-2 , Kamenka 1 , Mogochinskaya , Tolbaga and Ust-Kova 1 fall within the Maisièri period, and in European Russia it may be Sungir .
