Palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data from several regions around the world show
evidence of a multi-centennial climatic event occurring approximately 4200 cal yr BP (4.2 …

We examine mid-to late Holocene centennial-scale climate variability in Ireland using proxy
data from peatlands, lakes and a speleothem. A high degree of between-record variability is …

In archaeology, the meta-analysis of scientific dating information plays an ever-increasing
role. A common thread among many recent studies contributing to this has been the …

The evolution of temperatures during the Holocene is controversial, especially for the early
Holocene. The occurrence of the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM) during the early …

Reanalysis data show an increasing trend in Arctic precipitation over the 20th century, but
changes are not homogenous across seasons or space. The observed hydroclimate …

European hydroclimate shows a high degree of variability on every time scale. The
variability is controlled by natural processes such as Atlantic ocean cycles, changes in solar …

Mid-to-late Holocene high-resolution testate amoebae-derived water table reconstructions
from two peatlands in the North of Ireland are presented. The proxy climate records are …

Two 14C accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) wiggle‐match dated peat sequences from
Denmark and northern England record changes in mire surface wetness reconstructed …

Evidence for a major climate event at 5.2 ka has been reported globally and is associated
with considerable societal disruption, but is poorly characterised in northwest Europe. This …

We present a series of iterative methods to examine the problems associated with summed
probability functions (SPFs) based on archaeological radiocarbon data. As a case study we …
