Abstract The paper by E. Mendez-Quintas et al. (2020) aims to give an interdisciplinary overview of the lower Mino River terrace record in NW Iberia by combining geological and archaeological data. The authors also pretend to re-interpret the geological-geomorphological evolution of this river by presenting new data and by comparing them to data published in our five related papers. However, a wrong interpretation of the data they present as well as incorrect and selective citations of ours lead to the production of a publication containing numerous errors. The most flagrant ones are the mapping of fluvial terraces on one side of the river only and an incorrect interpretation of the sedimentological information used to correlate terrace remnants along-river. This results in incorrect longitudinal profile reconstructions and an improper proposal of the evolution of the Mino terraces that is even contradicted by the data they present. On the upside, the ages of the Porto Maior terrace site published by these authors confirm our previously published longitudinal profile reconstructions and evolutionary model of the Mino valley.

E. Méndez-Quintas 等人对“米尼奥河下游阶地系统（西北伊比利亚半岛）的多学科概述”的论坛交流评论。

摘要 E. Mendez-Quintas 等人的论文。(2020) 旨在通过结合地质和考古数据，对伊比利亚西北部米诺河下游阶地记录进行跨学科概述。作者还通过提供新数据并将它们与我们五篇相关论文中发表的数据进行比较，假装重新解释了这条河流的地质地貌演变。然而，对他们提供的数据的错误解释以及我们的错误和选择性引用导致了包含大量错误的出版物的产生。最明显的是仅在河流一侧绘制了河流阶地的地图，以及对用于关联沿河阶地残余物的沉积学信息的错误解释。这导致不正确的纵向剖面重建和对 Mino 阶地演化的不正确建议，甚至与它们提供的数据相矛盾。从好的方面来说，这些作者发表的 Porto Maior 阶地遗址的年龄证实了我们之前发表的米诺河谷纵向剖面重建和进化模型。
