a record of Holocene vegetation and landscape change from upland Connemara

A small corrie lake, at Mám Éan, i.e. Maumeen (anglicised version of name; at 245 m asl), in the Maumturk Mountains, Connemara, provides a record of woodland dynamics and human impact that spans the Holocene. The record includes pollen, macrofossil and charcoal data, results of whole core and single-sample magnetic measurements, and loss-on-ignition data. The chronology relies mainly of 14C dates (conventional and AMS) for the 4.3 m long lake core. Two conventional 14C dates for bog-pine timbers collected near the lake are also provided.
