SHE_III (Lough Sheeauns) * Latitude: 53.556860 * Longitude: -10.076080 * Date/Time: 1984-09-01T00:00:00 * Elevation: 15.0 m * Method/Device: Livingstone corer (LIVC) * Comment: The small lake, Lough Sheeauns, near Cleggan, Connemara, provides a record of woodland dynamics and human impact that spans most of the Holocene. The record is based on detailed pollen data and geochemical analyses and has a radiocarbon-derived chronology. Basin size:120 x 90 m, 0.9 ha. Estimated size/area in 1839 (1 ed. OS map): 190 x 116 m (2.2 ha). Sampled using 5 cm diameter Livingstone corer in 1 m drives from raft anchored near the centre of the lake. SHE I: 1-6 m collected; top 50 cm collected separately. Top sediment only analysed - results presented separately (3 spectra). Length of core (Holocene only) 6m (uppermost 2 m not collected). Spans from ca. AD 500 to early Holocene (short LG sequence in final drive, i.e. 5-6 m; not analysed). Organic-rich brown gyttja.
Comment:
Pollen analyst: Karen Molloy. Sampling density: variable; mainly 4 cm intervals; Elm Decline and Neolithic continuous sampling; samples 1 cm thick. No. of spectra: 90. 442-402: continuous sampling (41 samples in this part of profile). Lycopodium spore suspension of know concentration added; acetolysis, mounted in glycerine. Cereal-type pollen differentiated using Beug (1961) criteria (37 um taken as cutoff point; but only pollen grains 40 um and greater included in cereal-type). Pollen nomenclature generally follows Moore et al. 1991. <1 = recorded outside the pollen counts (most samples searched for additional taxa). Distinction between Myrica and Corylus made. Charcoal particles ≥37 um counted during routine pollen counting.
