This paper presents a precisely dated last interglacial (MIS 5) stalagmite (129-84 ka) from the Kanaan Cave, Lebanon. Variations in growth rate and isotopic records indicate a warm humid phase at the onset of the last interglacial at ~129 ka that lasted until ~125 ka. A gradual shift in speleothem isotopic composition (125-122 ka) is driven mainly by the d18O source effect of the eastern Mediterranean surface waters during sapropel 5 (S5). The onset of glacial inception began after ~122 ka, interrupted by a short wet pulse during the sapropel 4 (S4) event. Low growth rates and enriched oxygen and carbon values until ~84 ka indicate a transition to drier conditions during Northern Hemisphere glaciation. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Belgian Science policy (BELSPO) # Grant: #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Kanaan Cave # Location: Asia>Western Asia>Middle East>Lebanon # Northernmost_Latitude: 33.911389 # Southernmost_Latitude: 33.911389 # Easternmost_Longitude: 35.611389 # Westernmost_Longitude: 35.611389 # Elevation: 96 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: KanaanK1-2010iso # First_Year: 128847 # Last_Year: 83125 # Time_Unit: cal yr BP # Core_Length: 0.2 # Notes: age model used is Oxcal #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # date_type depth (mm) lab_num uncorr_age uncorr_age_uncert 238U_content 232Th_content 230Th_232Th_ratio 230Th_238U_activity 230Th_238U_activity_uncertainty decay_constant corr_age corr_age_uncert chem_year # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 10 KA STM 1-3 85830 700 59.71 754.5 108.5 0.4486 0.56 Edwards et al. 1987 85300 780 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 31 KA STM 1-18 86920 790 42.79 522.5 112.1 0.4546 0.62 Edwards et al. 1987 86400 850 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 58 KA STM 1-11 94270 500 73.4 208.9 516.7 0.4829 0.3 Edwards et al. 1987 94150 510 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 69 KA STM 1-17 96330 850 58.57 338.8 252.3 0.4868 0.49 Edwards et al. 1987 96040 860 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 89 KA STM 1-10 100410 610 55.92 705.3 121.9 0.5037 0.45 Edwards et al. 1987 99880 690 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 114 KA STM 1-2 103030 900 65.8 840 124.6 0.5208 0.51 Edwards et al. 1987 102500 960 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 129 KA STM 1-9 112310 680 70.67 854.8 139.8 0.5541 0.4 Edwards et al. 1987 111810 740 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 140 KA STM 1-8 121740 820 54.26 2676 35.1 0.5623 1.1 Edwards et al. 1987 119840 1530 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 158 KA STM 1-7 125460 890 51.55 1207 74.1 0.5671 0.59 Edwards et al. 1987 124510 1080 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 169 KA STM 1-15 126630 900 117.9 338.8 555.5 0.5525 0.3 Edwards et al. 1987 126440 900 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 174 KA STM 1-5 126470 770 142.5 1623 147.2 0.5497 0.37 Edwards et al. 1987 125960 830 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 192 KA STM 1-14 127260 1010 114.4 585.5 321.1 0.552 0.35 Edwards et al. 1987 127050 1010 2014 # MC-ICP-MS U/Th 199 UMD120325-206 127430 1280 63 100.6 1058.1 0.544 0.2 Edwards et al. 1987 127300 1270 2012 # Event; hiatus 124.1 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a # #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ## depth depth,,,millimeter,,speleothems,,,N, ## age age,,,calendar year before present,,speleothems,,,N, Bayesian ## d13C delta 13C,calcite,,per mil PDB,,speleothems,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N, ## d18O delta 18O,calcite,,per mil PDB,,speleothems,,isotope ratio mass spectrometry,N, # #------------------------ # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format -
