Fluvial evolution of the Moselle valley in Luxembourg during late Pleistocene and Holocene: palaeoenvironment and human occupation

Located in the Moselle valley in Luxembourg, the Wintrange basin has been the subject of systematic geoarchaeological investigations for the last fifteen years. According to observations made upstream, the study area could represent a system of lower terraces build up of two stepped alluvial formations (M2 +10m, M1 +3-5m). A recent synthesis of paleoenvironmental studies done on the M1 formation has produced a chronological frame-work (radiocarbon and IRSL dating) and permits to precise the stages of morphosedimentary and environmental evolution for this part of the basin since the end of the...
