STOR: Storsandsvatnet

Description

Storsandsvatnet is a lake in western Norway. From the sediments a core was obtained, and 11 samples was submitted for radiocarbon dating. The data contain the depths of the slides dated and the younger and older calibrated ages for each slide.

Usage

data(STOR)

Arguments

Format

A data.frame with 11 observations on the following 4 variables.

depthup

The upper border of the dated slide

depthdo

The lower border of the dated slide

cageup

The younger calibrated age of the dated slide

cagedo

The older calibrated age of the dated slide

Details

The calibrated ages is obtained by calibration of the radiocarbon dates. The borders represent mean calibrated age +/- 1 SD of calibrated age.
