Using the fossil charcoal and pollen records from Elands Bay Cave and Boomplaas Cave, South Africa, to reconstruct variability in local hydroclimate and seasonality
… pollen records from two archaeological sites: Boomplaas Cave (BPC) in the Year-round Rainfall Zone (YRZ), and Elands Bay Cave (EBC) in the Winter Rainfall Zone (WRZ). By quantifying changes in Mean Annual Temperature (MAT), Total Annual Precipitation (TAP), and Dry Quarter Precipitation (DQP), …
