Data description

The dataset includes three xls files with measured data and two pdf files with site information. Readme sheets in the xls files give information about file contents and the associated papers that should be cited in each case.

Comments

The total number of varves, as well as the timing of deglaciation of the site according to the Swedish Time Scale are indicated; + behind the years means, that the bottom varve has not been reached, "preliminary" refers to a preliminary connection.
