旧石器时代遗迹与金牛座建筑群
Palaeolithic extinctions and the Taurid Complex
摘要：
与旧石器时代晚期一颗大的（50-100 km）短周期彗星的碎片相交，为天文起源的灾难提供了一个令人满意的解释，这场灾难被假定发生在公元前12900年左右，并预示着持续约1300年的冰期条件的恢复。金牛座复合体似乎是这颗彗星的碎片;它包括至少19个最明亮的近地天体。在人类关注的时间尺度上，流星流中千米以下的物体可能是最大的区域撞击危险。
英文摘要：
Intersection with the debris of a large (50-100 km) short-period comet during the Upper Palaeolithic provides a satisfactory explanation for the catastrophe of celestial origin which has been postulated to have occurred around 12900 BP, and which presaged a return to ice age conditions of duration ~1300 years. The Taurid Complex appears to be the debris of this erstwhile comet; it includes at least 19 of the brightest near-Earth objects. Sub-kilometre bodies in meteor streams may present the greatest regional impact hazard on timescales of human concern.
