Description :
This paper presents results of a palynological analysis of a 15.5 m sediment core from Lake Naivasha. The core spans a little more than the last 20,000 years. The record is long enough to include the last glacial maximum in temperate latitudes and the switch to interglacial conditions at about 12,000 yr B.P. The record also covers the period of maximum rainfall in East Africa, 9 000 to 5 000 yr B.P., a time marked by high lake levels.
