Description:
This dataset provides Loss-on-ignition (LOI) data for the Lateglacial sediment sequence retrieved from Lake Hämelsee (Germany) in 2013. LOI values (%) are presented against both depth (m) and age (cal yr. BP). The LOI data was used to provide information on LGIT landscape dynamics at lake Hämelsee. A total of 369 samples were analyzed for LOI, providing a continuous 1-cm-resolution record across the LGIT and early Holocene sections of the HAEM-B record. Subsamples of 1 cm3 were dried in a 105°C oven for 24 hrs before being placed in a furnace at 550 °C for 4 hrs. Loss-on-ignition was calculated by comparing the dry weight of the samples before and after combustion at 550 °C following Heiri et al. (2001) and results are expressed as a percentage. The analyses were performed in the laboratories of Utrecht University, the Netherlands.
