The paper to this dataset
https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.972389
doesn't explain why they analyzed calcium.

It's a dataset with several proxies for fire emissions from the Swiss Alpes for 1000-2000 AD.
I have come across SO4 and Nxx as typical fire emission and proxy for #paleo or historical fires.
But not Ca+.

2 peaks really stand out, shortly before the #BlackDeath outbreak in 1349 and shortly before the Nazis started to gas and burn their victims.
So I'm thinking, the dating in the dataseries is off by ~5 years, and it is really human bones that burned and caused the Ca+ peak.

What do you think?
The paper contains a map of Europe showing where from the wind will have swept those chemicals onto the glacier. Basically all of mainland Europe, except the most Northern and most Southern parts.

My wife made me Nordic stone-age bread once more. Fantastic taste and health in it. Here's the recipe: https://nordicfoodliving.com/stone-age-bread

#nutrition #paleo #keto #recipe

Aidez-moi...j'ai retrouvé ma collection de cailloux de quand j'étais petit, et il y a ce truc qui m'a toujours intrigué...vu de loin ça ressemble vaguement à un #trilobite, mais ce n'est pas du tout...trilobé... donc je suppose que ce n'est pas ça.

Voilà, c'est une pierre très noire, très compacte, pas du calcaire, plutôt la consistance d'un silex mais noir. Je ne sais plus où j'ai trouvé ça mais probablement en ville. Je mets les photos du dessous et du dessus, sur le "dessous" on voit des structures assez fines. Est-ce que ça dit quelque chose à quelqu'un ??
