Summary: This study presents an interdisciplinary investigation of the Villena dune field in the SE Iberian Peninsula, revealing the chronology, formation, and evolution of continental aeolian sandy deposits. By analyzing dune-paleosol sequences and employing various dating techniques, micromorphology, and soil chemistry analysis, the study provides insights into sediment dynamics, archaeological site formation processes, and the occurrence of periglacial features.

Summary: The research focuses on the Western Red River and reveals the formation of three terrace levels and their partial burial by aeolian sediments. The analysis of sedimentary facies and dating of quartz grains shows two periods of fluvial aggradation at ca. 80 ka and 30 to 13 ka. The latest aggradation event, which formed the lowest terrace, coincides with a wet period during the Little Ice Age.
