  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other aspects of climate derived from mineral deposits found in caves. Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations.
 
          STUDY NOTES: DESCRIPTION:   
Decadal resolution stable isotope and trace metal data 
from Buckeye Creek Cave stalagmite BCC-002, spanning 7,000 
years BP to present (U-Th dated). Records solar-driven cycles 
in relative moisture abundance, and land disturbances by 
Native Americans in the Late Holocene.
