Here, we reconstruct regional changes in precipitation source and seasonality and local changes in warm-season duration and rainstorm events related to the Pacific North American pattern (PNA) using a 2100-year-long multi-proxy lake-sediment record from the midcontinental US. Wet midcontinental climate reflecting negative PNA-like conditions occurred during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (950-1250 CE) as Native American populations adopted intensive maize agriculture, facilitating population aggregation and the development of urban centers between 1000-1200 CE. Intensifying midcontinental socio-political instability and warfare between 1250-1350 CE corresponded with drier positive PNA-like conditions, culminating in the staggered abandonment of many major Native American river valley settlements and large urban centers between 1350-1450 CE during an especially severe warm-season drought. We hypothesize that this sustained drought interval rendered it difficult to support dense populations and large urban centers in the midcontinental US by destabilizing regional agricultural systems, thereby contributing to the host of socio-political factors that led to population reorganization and migration in the midcontinent and neighboring regions shortly before European contact. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis # Grant: IUCRG 2471521 #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: Martin Lake # Location: North America>United States Of America>Indiana # Country: United States Of America # Northernmost_Latitude: 41.564 # Southernmost_Latitude: 41.564 # Easternmost_Longitude: -85.383 # Westernmost_Longitude: -85.383 # Elevation: 274 m #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Martin2017precip-iso # Earliest_Year: -64 # Most_Recent_Year: -65 # Time_Unit: Cal.
