Abstract
⺠35 aeolian sections were sampled for 97 OSL ages in the NW Negev dunefield. ⺠Dunes were not present in the Negev prior to â¼23 ka. ⺠The main dune mobilization episodes are; 18-11.5 ka, 2-0.8 ka, and 150-8 years. ⺠Strong Late Pleistocene winds transported the dune sands into the Negev. ⺠Negev vegetated linear dune stratigraphy records episodes of enhanced windiness.
