14,000 years of sediment, vegetation, and water-level changes at the Makepeace Cedar Swamp, southeastern Massachusetts
Data from a transect of 4 cores collected in the Makepeace Cedar Swamp, near Carver, Massachusetts, record past changes in deposition, vegetation, and water level. Time series of palynological data provide a 14,000-yr record of regional and local
vegetation development, a means for biostratigraphic correlation and dating, and information about changes in water level. The results indicate a climatic cause for the pine period in New England.
