Abstract:

The presented data consists of high resolution dry bulk density, accumulation rates and geochemical data (Ca, Pb and Ti) for a mire (Hoefle Mire) of the Kleinwalser Valley (Kleinwalsertal), Austria, in the the calcareous Northern Central Alps. The records cover approximately 6200 years and were analysed to reconstruct past mire development, landscape change, human land use, disturbance and pollution and to detect prehistoric metallurgy.

Coverage:

Latitude: 47.364583 * Longitude: 10.176972

Date/Time Start: 2016-08-02T10:30:00 * Date/Time End: 2016-08-02T10:30:00

Minimum DEPTH, sediment/rock: 0.007 m * Maximum DEPTH, sediment/rock: 2.402 m

Event(s):

Hoefle-Mire (HFL) * Latitude: 47.364583 * Longitude: 10.176972 * Date/Time: 2016-08-02T10:30:00 * Elevation: 1020.0 m * Method/Device: Russian corer (RUSC)

Comment:

Concentrations of Ca, Pb and Ti are calibrated with ICP-MS data. In lines without any concentrations, no measurements were done. In lines without Pb-values, the limit of detection (c. 1.3 mg/kg) was not reached.
