Dinoflagellate cysts counts of sediment core DP30PC section 8, Gulf of Taranto

Dinoflagellate cysts have been determined in sediments of core DP30PC on a resolution of 1 sample per 2.5 mm core depth (representing approximately 3 year) and 119.65 - 180.4 cm core depth. These data form the basis of high temporal resolution temperature and precipitation reconstructions for Roman times between about 200 BCE and 600 CE (ca. 205 BCE - 605 CE).
