The Neoarchaean subalkaline magmatism of Keivy structure is expressed in formation of the volcano-plutonic association of latite-monzonite-granite (ALMG). The quantity of the measured relation 143Nd/144Nd in rocks is determined in 0.511061-0.511365, and values of model age are located in an interval from 3.14 to 3.21 billion years at εNd (2670) from 2.2 to -1.3. The initial relations 176Hf/177Hf in zircon are in limits 0.280950-0.281069, and figurative points of composition form the field around a trend of the CHUR. According to the isotope and geochemical data for all rocks the basic composition of protholits is supposed. In quantity εHf(T) points of zircon are localized in the field of the development of the crust with 176Lu/177Hf = 0.015 and 3.0-3.3 billion years age. It probably demonstrates the formation of initial melts mainly at the expense of matrix with a long time of stay in crust. The formation of ALMG magmas is assumed to appear due to the melting of metasomatically altered rocks of the lower crust during intrusion of basaltic melts initial for the rocks of the dike complex and the gabbro-labradorite massifs into the upper crust.

The application of biomolecular techniques to archaeological materials from the Balkans is providing valuable new information on the prehistory of the region. This is especially relevant for the study of the neolithisation process in SE Europe, which gradually affected the rest of the continent. Here, to answer questions regarding diet and subsistence practices in early farming societies, we combine organic residue analyses of archaeological pottery, taxonomic and isotopic study of domestic animal remains and biomolecular analyses of human dental calculus. The results from the analyses of the lipid residues from pottery suggest that milk was processed in ceramic vessels. Dairy products were shown to be part of the subsistence strategies of the earliest Neolithic communities in the region but were of varying importance in different areas of the Balkan. On the other hand, we did not confidently detect any milk proteins within the dental calculus. The molecular and isotopic identification of meat, dairy, plants and beeswax in the pottery lipids also provided insights into the diversity of diet in these early Neolithic communities. We also present the first compound-specific radiocarbon dates for the region, obtained directly on absorbed organic residues extracted from pottery, identified as dairy lipids.

NOTE: This article was published in a former series of GEUS Bulletin. Please use the original series name when citing this article, for example: Petersen, O. V., Khomyakov, A. P., & Henning. (2001). Natrophosphate from the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland. Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 190, 139-141. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v190.5184 _______________ The rare mineral natrophosphate has been identified for the first time in the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex in a drill core from the Kvanefjeld area. It occurs sparsely in zoned veinlets with cores of natrophosphate and borders of fibrous trona. The natrophosphate is more or less smoky, transparent and unaltered. The refractive index n = 1.448 ± 0.005 is low compared to that given for the material from the type locality, Khibina alkaline complex, Kola Peninsula; the unit cell parameter a = 27.76 ± 0.05 Å is in excellent agreement with that given for the material from the type locality. The veins occur in hyper-agpaitic naujakasite lujavrite; villiaumite is an associated mineral. Only a few water-soluble minerals have so far been found in the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex compared to the wealth of such minerals in the Khibina and Lovozero alkaline complexes. This is possibly at least partly due to lack of necessary precautions during sampling.
