High-elevation ice patches are known to be important archaeological archives in alpine regions and potentially could provide records important for Earth System Model evaluation and to understand linkages between climate and early human activities, but this potential largely is unexplored. Here we use a well-dated ice-core record from a shallow ice patch to investigate Rocky Mountain winter-season climate during the Holocene. Our records indicate that this ice patch consistently accumulated ice over the past 10 kyr, preserving a regionally representative climate record of stable water isotopes and ice accretion rates that documented generally cooler and wetter conditions during the early Holocene and 500 years of anomalous winter season warmth centered at 4100 cal yr BP followed by a rapid cooling and 1500 years of cooler and wetter winters. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: US National Science Foundation # Grant: BCS 1832486 #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Beartooth Plateau Ice Patch # Location: North America>United States Of America>Wyoming # Country: United States Of America # Northernmost_Latitude: 44.97 # Southernmost_Latitude: 44.97 # Easternmost_Longitude: -109.45 # Westernmost_Longitude: -109.45 # Elevation: 3150 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: BeartoothCore1iso # First_Year: 9556 # Last_Year: -34 # Time_Unit: cal. yr BP # Core_Length: 5.54 # Notes: #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # Labcode # depth # mat.dated # 14C.raw # 14C.raw_err # datemeth # reservoir # calib_method # rejected # # Labcode depth mat.dated 14C.raw 14C.raw_err datemeth reservoir calib_method rejected # Lee-2017-CR1-L1 166 Sagebrush stem 1025 ±15 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L2 216 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 1790 ±15 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L3 255 Grass stem and Grass seeds 2060 ±15 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L4 272 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 2465 ±15 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L5 298 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 2715 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L6 314 Legume pod 2850 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L7 321 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 3540 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L8 325 Grass stem and Grass seeds 3005 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L9 371 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 3220 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L10 381 Grass stem, Grass seed, and Cinquefoil seeds 3680 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L11 392 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 4030 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L12 396 Grass stem and Grass seed 4175 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L13 410 Spruce needle 4500 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L14 415 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 5340 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L15 422 Wildrye seed, Cinquefoil seed, and Digesta 4825 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L16 431 Grass seed, Digesta, and Insect chitin 5220 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L17 435 Grass stem and Bluegrass seeds 5185 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L18 443 Grass stem and Wildrye seeds 5460 ±20 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L19 451 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 5980 ±25 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L20 473 Grass stem 6095 ±25 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L21 487 Cinquefoil seeds 7165 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L22 512.5 Grass stem, Wildrye seed, and Digesta 8085 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L23 529.5 Grass stem, Grass seed, and Digesta 8065 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L24 537.5 Grass stem 8045 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L25 539.5 Grass stem 8080 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L26 542.5 Unidentified plant material/Digesta 8255 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L27 555.5 Grass seeds and Bluegrass seeds 8725 ±30 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L28 557.5 Pine needle 8765 ±35 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # Lee-2017-CR1-L29 560.5 Grass seeds 9215 ±35 14C AMS IntCal13 Bacon v2.2 no # #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # ## depth_cm depth,,,centimeter,,ice cores,,,N, ## age_calyrBP age,,,calendar year before present,,ice cores,,,N, ## d18O delta 18O,bulk ice,,per mil VSMOW,,ice cores,raw,cavity ring-down spectroscopy,N, ## dD delta 2H,bulk ice,,per mil VSMOW,,ice cores,raw,cavity ring-down spectroscopy,N, # #------------------------ # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format -
