The age model for this core was updated to the IntCal20 curve (for radiocarbon dates) using BACON age modeling software (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rbacon/). The data span 160,000 years and describe changes in Dead Sea hydroclimate and the surrounding landscape.
The type of datum:yearofcollection = the year that the core was collected, which is used to constrain the core top age.uth: U/Th date on primary aragonite, from Torfstein et al. (2015).c14: radiocarbon date on terrestrial plant debris, from Kitagawa et al. (2017).tiepointG: tiepoint to dated outcrops of the Lisan Formation, from Goldstein et al., (2020).tiepointS: tiepoint to the Soreq Cave speleothem oxygen isotope record, from Goldstein et al., (2020).tiepointO: tiepoint to Northern Hemisphere summer insolation, from Goldstein et al., (2020).
