Raw pollen and palynomorph counts from a sediment core at Purghagoolah (Lake Elusive), southeastern Australia, spanning the last ~1000 years

This table reports raw counts of pollen and other palynomorphs from a 1 m sediment core collected from Purghagoolah (Lake Elusive), a lake of approximately 40 ha and 21 m depth in Croajingolong National Park, Gippsland, southeastern Australia, on Gunaikurnai Country (37°44'50"S, 149°27'9"E; decimal -37.747222, 149.452500, WGS84; 50 m a.s.l.), cored on 9 February 2021 with a Universal Corer (Aquatic Instruments). The core was subsampled at 0.5 to 1 cm intervals, spanning approximately 844 to 2021 CE according to a lead-210 and radiocarbon age-depth model. Samples were prepared following standard procedures with an added Lycopodium clavatum marker, and a minimum of 300 terrestrial pollen grains were counted per sample by light microscopy. Counts are reported by depth and modelled age for each identified taxon and palynomorph. These counts underlie the pollen percentage, accumulation-rate and REVEALS datasets in this submission.
