Statement

Cores were collected in 2012 on the RV Celtic Explorer, cruise number CE12008. Core were collected using a GeoResources 6m barrel, 11 cm diameter virbrocorer. Each core was split, visually logged, photographed and sampled for radiocarbon dating. We used monospecific foraminifera and paired mollusc for dating. The radiocarbon dates were process and analysed at NERC radiocarbon facility in East Kilbride. Foraminifera assemblage counts were sample from selected cores. The samples were volumetrically measured, sieved through 500µm and 63µm sieves with the 500-63µm fraction used for the foraminifera analysis. The samples were picked wet.
