Abstract
In the present study, in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental and climatic changes of Jiroft during the last 4000 years, several evidences of sedimentology and biogeochemistry on a sedimentary core have been investigated. Around. 3950 cal yr BP, low values of Ti/Al, Si/Al, C/N and CPI along with high values of δ13COM, and Paq indicate a wet period in Jiroft. evidence indicates a relative decrease in humidity between about 3900 and 3293 cal yr BP. Between 3293 and 2897 cal yr BP, Jiroft was dry and dusty. The results show very dry conditions with a significant increase in the amount of dust around 3200 cal yr BP. A long-wet period from about 2897 to 2302 cal yr BP can be recognized with high Paq values. The highest Ti/Al values along with the lowest δ13COM values indicate increased wind activity and dry conditions between 2100 and 1650 cal yr BP. Jiroft experienced wet conditions between 1540 and 1315 cal yr BP. With the relative decrease of rainfall, a semi-humid climate prevailed in Jiroft between 1315 and 854 cal yr BP.
