Figures & data

Table 1. Radiocarbon ages of mollusc shells and seaweed from Skilvika, 14C ages were originally published by Landvik et al. (Citation1992) and calibrated in this study using OxCal 4.2 (Bronk Ramsey Citation2009) with the Marine13 calibration curve (Reimer et al. Citation2013). Non-finite ages have not been calibrated.

Figure 1. Location map of Skilvika, Svalbard. For more detailed location see Supplementary Fig. S1 and Landvik et al. (Citation1992).

Figure 2. Composite log with luminescence (Ky) and radiocarbon ages (cal. Ky BP except for non-finite ages, which are in Ky BP) from this study and from Landvik et al. (Citation1992). The photograph shows the positions of samples taken in 1999 only; the 2015 samples are from ca. 10 m to the right on the photograph, while the samples collected in 1997 are from the same unit but elsewhere in the cliff section. For details on ages see , and Supplementary Fig. S2 for an age-depth plot.

Table 2. OSL data including age in kiloyears (Ky), dose in Gray (Gy) and number (n) of aliquots accepted of the total number measured as well as sediment water content (w.c.) in weight percent. Samples are sorted in order of depth.
