No full textThis issue of Quaternary Geochronology is the last one where I am the Editor-in-Chief. Quaternary Geochronology(QG) was born during a conversation when Giff Miller, John Chappell and John Magee and I were sitting around a camp fire in the Simpson Desert in Australia. I took the idea to David Bowen, the Editor-in-Chief of Quaternary Science Reviews (QSR) and Peter Henn, the Production Manager of QSR at Pergamon Press. Both agreed that it was a good idea, however, rather than starting a new journal it was decided to have special issues in QSR. The first issue of Quaternary Geochronology was published in 1994 as QSR 13 (2). In the early 2000s, Jim Rose, then the Editor-in-Chief of QSR, suggested that QG should become a stand-alone-journal. I have to admit that I was quite reluctant to go alone. QSR had impact factors of more than 4, and I thought that QG would struggle to reach 1. Jim suggested to start with a special issue on Cosmogenic Isotopes, as these papers did well in QSR. This was brilliant advice, as QG published some of the most influential papers on this topic over the years. The dreaded impact factor of less than 1 never materialised. QG did much better. The factor has been oscillating widely in a range between 2 and 4, which is typical for a relatively small journal.Full Tex

No full textThis special Quaternary Geochronology volume of the Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Luminescence and Electron Spin Resonance Dating is dedicated to the memory of Martin Aitken, one of the great pioneers in luminescence dating, who passed away on 13 June 2017, aged 95. We are pleased that Ann Wintle, herself the great Dame of luminescence dating, wrote a fitting tribute to Martin, which follows this editorial.Full Tex

Laser ablation depth profiling of U-series and Sr isotopes in human fossils
No full textWe have explored laser depth profiling to obtain data sets for U-series as well as Sr analyses. Laser probing with an 81 gm spot size allows for the exploration of low uranium domains of up to 400 gm below the outer surface in tooth enamel. These low U domains will contain Sr isotope compositions of the individual, that are least affected by diagenetic Sr overprints. The small holes drilled for U surveying are not visible to the naked eye. Using larger spot sizes of around 233 gm, laser drilling can be used to obtain reliable U-series isotope data to a depth of approximately 1000 gm in enamel and around 1300 gm in bone. Furthermore, meaningful Sr-87/Sr-86 isotope data can also be obtained with this spot size. Using our sampling strategy, the overall damage to a human tooth is minute, as demonstrated on a Neanderthal tooth from Moula-Guercy. We expect that laser ablation depth profiling will become routine for gaining insights into the age of human fossils and the migrations of ancient humans. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Die politische Religion : Eine Untersuchung über den Ursprung des Verfalls in der Geschichte (1935). Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Rainer Hering
No full textDer vierte Band der "Hamburger Historischen Forschungen" umfasst in erster Linie die Edition eines unveröffentlichten Textes. Autor ist der Theologe Prof. Dr. Dr. Paul Schütz (1891–1985), der von 1940 bis 1952 Hauptpastor an der Hamburger Hauptkirche St. Nikolai war und zugleich als hauptamtlicher Dozent und später als Professor der Theologie an der Kirchlichen Hochschule Hamburg lehrte. Er gehört zu den ersten, die ein Konzept der politischen Religion entwickelten. Sein 1935 verfasster Beitrag konnte damals nicht publiziert werden.
Heute ist eine Edition dieses Beitrages zum einen wichtig für die Theologie- und Kirchengeschichte. Zum anderen gibt es seit einigen Jahren in der historischen Forschung eine intensive Diskussion über die in den Dreißigerjahren des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelte Interpretation des „Dritten Reiches“ als „politische Religion“. Dieses Modell, das Diktaturen, insbesondere den Nationalsozialismus, als „politische Religion“ versteht, wird im Allgemeinen Eric Voegelin und Raymond Aron zugeschrieben, die ihre Ansätze 1938 bzw. 1939 publizierten.
Dass Paul Schütz schon drei bzw. vier Jahre zuvor eine solche Konzeption entwickelt hatte, war bis vor Kurzem nicht bekannt. Die vorliegende Edition kann daher neue Impulse für die Debatte über die Geschichte und Tragfähigkeit dieses Ansatzes geben und sie inhaltlich bereichern.The fourth volume of the series "Hamburger Historische Forschungen" comprises primarily the edition of an unpublished text. The author is the theologian Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. Paul Schütz (1891-1985) who was the main pastor at the Hamburg Main Church St. Nikolai from 1940 to 1952. At the same time he taught as a full-time lecturer and later as professor of theology at the Church University of Hamburg. Schütz was one of the first to develop a concept of political religion. His contribution, written in 1935, could not be published at that time.
Today, an edition of this article is important for the history of theology and church history. On the other hand, for some years now there has been an intensive discussion in historical research on the interpretation of the "Third Reich" as a "political religion" developed in the 1930s. This model, which sees dictatorships, especially National Socialism, as a "political religion", is generally attributed to Eric Voegelin and Raymond Aron, who published their approaches in 1938 and 1939 respectively.
It was not known until recently that Paul Schütz had already developed such a concept three or four years earlier. The present edition can therefore provide new impetus for the debate on the history and viability of this approach and enrich its content
