Data for: Speleothem stable isotopes from 670 - 240 ka ago at Cape Limeworks Cave 1, Robertson, South Africa

Speleothems were extracted from the cave using a hammer and chisels and stable isotopes were analyzed at the Geological Survey of Israel using methods described in Bar-Matthews et al., (2003, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 67, 3181–3199. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0016-7037(02)01031-1) and Bar-Matthews et al., (1997, Quaternary Research, 47, 155–168. https://doi.org/10.1006/qres.1997.1883). U-series dating was done at the Geological Survey of Israel following methods described in Grant et al., (2012, Nature, 491(7426), 744–747. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature11593) and at the University of Minnesota following methods described in Edwards et al., (1987, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 81, 175–192), Shen et al., (2012, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 99, 71–86. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.GCA.2012.09.018) and Cheng et al., (2013, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 371–372, 82–91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.04.006)
