Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Environmental Proxy Evidence
A measured natural archive used to reconstruct past environmental conditions.
Why does this record have this property?
Tree-ring width and carbon-isotope measurements provide an independently dated local moisture record.
Local Proxy, Not Automatic Regional Generalization
The record directly represents a locality or catchment and should not be generalized to the entire Mediterranean without comparison.
Why does this record have this property?
The Gordion sequence directly represents central Anatolia; wider extrapolation requires independent regional records.
