Plant xylem anatomy, dendrochronology and stable carbon isotopes as tools in rainfall reconstruction in Southern Africa
… in the cross-sectional xylem anatomy of archaeological charcoal that statements may be made on rainfall trends over the last 2000 years. These results indicate a general decrease in rainfall from 2300 BP to the present with a slightly wetter period during the Little Ice Age (1300 to 1800 …

Using the fossil charcoal and pollen records from Elands Bay Cave and Boomplaas Cave, South Africa, to reconstruct variability in local hydroclimate and seasonality
… contradictory climate responses by using fossil charcoal and 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 …
