Description
The authors analyzed plant macrofossils, peat humification and testate amoebae to reconstruct a proxy climate record spanning the last 7500 years of an ombrotrophic bog, Temple Hill Moss, in southeast Scotland. This work revealed, in their words, "a millennial scale periodicity of 1100 years" that provided "evidence for a drier/warmer phase between ca cal. 1000-800 BP, and a climatic deterioration between ca cal. 250-150 BP, which may relate to phases of warmer and then cooler climates such as the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age, respectively."
