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)
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.
