FUNDING SOURCE: NERC (Natural Environment Research Council, UK
GEOGRAPHIC REGION: Northern England
PERIOD OF RECORD: 3000 BC to AD 1995


DESCRIPTION:
Reconstructed water table depths in northern England peatlands, 
inferred from testate amoebae assemblages.

Site Locations:
Coom Rigg Moss and Butterburn Flow 
Latitude:	55o06'N (Coom Rigg Moss) 55o05'N (Butterburn Flow)
Longitude:	02o28'W (Coom Rigg Moss) 02o30'W (Butterburn Flow)
Elevation:	325m (Coom Rigg Moss) 280m (Butterburn Flow)

Variable names:	Year, WT (Mean annual water table)
Years given as AD (-) or BC (+).
Varriable units: Calibrated 14C age AD/BC +/-, cm 
(+ values represent standing water).	

The chronology is based on interpolated radiocarbon ages and 
pine pollen marker.
	
Mean WT is the mean annual depth to water table,
inferred from testate amoebae assemblages.

Data represent composite record from three profiles and some samples 
have the same inferred age.
