Analyst: Michael O'ConnellLaboratory: Palaeoenvironmental Research Unit, NUI Galway, IrelandData analysis completed: 1983Sampling in field: When sampling in the field, monoliths from Location 5 were referred to as L5.1 and L5.2 (50 cm apart; L5.2 taken so as to sample peat/mineral soil interface). These have been referred to as L5.a and L5.bPollen sampling details: sampling density <= 4 cm intervals. Depths originally recorded in cm (cited here in m) with respect to the mineral/soil interface (as in all samples from Carrownaglogh); negative values indicate above the mineral/peat interface. Uppermost depth cited as the depth of the sample (standard PRU practice); e.g. 1 cm = 1-2 cm below the mineral/peat horizonPollen preparation: Lycopodium tablets (Stockmarr) added; acetolysis, HF for basal (minerogenic) samples; mounted in glycerinePollen identification and counting: -5 cm and -25 cm counted by Michael O'Connell. Other spectra counted in Majella Coleman in the context of a BSc (Hons) project 1979; i.e. in reality these are preliminary counts. Counts for these 2 spectra (-5 and -25 cm) are also included in profile 5.b in dataset doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.885699. Cereal-type pollen differentiated using Beug (1961) criteria (37 µm taken as cutoff point; this differs from PRU practice in later years when 40 µm was taken as the cut off size). Pollen nomenclature generally follows Moore et al. 1991. <1 = recorded outside the pollen counts.
