“…A nearby aquifer (Abbotsford) located at the same height above sea level, however, exhibits an average d 18 O composition of approximately -11.08 ± 0.36& (mean ± 1SD; Wassenaar 1995). Using this value, the modified paleothermometry equation (Grossman and Ku 1986;Goodwin et al 2001) returns temperatures of 3.8 and 15°C for the most extreme d 18 O aragonite values of -7.4& ( Fig. 3a; 1999) and -9.97& ( Fig.…”

“…The cross-hatched region refers to the cone of influence, where zero padding has reduced the variance value defined by Cook et al 2000) suggest that shell growth of all specimens from Coghlan Creek was governed by similar, external forcings. Numerous studies on bivalve mollusks have identified temperature, pollutants, and food as major controls of shell growth (Ansell 1968;Kennish et al 1994;Goodwin et al 2001;Schö ne et al 2003;Dunca et al 2005). In unpolluted streams with constant nutrient supply throughout the growing season, temperature exerts the dominant influence on shell growth of freshwater bivalves.…”

“…Samples were processed in a Finnigan MAT 253 We used the paleothermometry equation of Grossman and Ku (1986). A small modification of their equation was required because they report water values in VSMOW-0.2& (Goodwin et al 2001). The corrected function is as follows: …”

We present the results of sclerochronologically calibrated growth and stable isotope analyses of the freshwater bivalve Margaritifera falcata collected from an agricultural, suburban setting near Vancouver, BC. The oxygen isotope range of shell aragonite can be explained by the temperature range during the growing season, assuming the water d 18 O composition remained constant. However, shell growth is strongly influenced by local summer precipitation and potentially runoff of nutrient-rich stormwater. About 44% of the variability of annual shell growth can be explained by amounts of local summer (June-September) rainfall. Local winter precipitation and El Niñ o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) strength during the preceding year exert a weak, but significant control on shell growth. In combination, summer and winter precipitation can explain up to 50% of the variability in annual shell growth. Spectral analyses substantiate the effect of precipitation on shell growth and demonstrate that shell growth and ENSO are coupled by precipitation. Common spectral density was found at periods of 6.5-9 years, particularly between 1985 and 2004. Higher frequency oscillation corresponding to periods of 3-5 years occurred during the early 1970s, early to mid 1980s, and later 1990s. These results suggest that skeletal records of bivalve mollusks provide suitable archives of ENSO-coupled precipitation in areas where other climate proxies such as tree-rings and speleothems may not be available.

“…While the timing and periodicity of micro-growth formation are primarily regulated by the biological clock of molluscs, tidal regimes may also be reflected (Richardson 1987(Richardson , 1988Schöne 2008Schöne , 2013. When some intertidal molluscs are submerged during high tide, shell precipitation is accelerated and a micro-growth increment is produced (Goodwin et al 2001), as the tide subsides and the shellfish is aerially exposed, growth slows, forming a micro-growth line (Evans 1972). This process also causes physical discrepancies between tides with variable amplitudes (primarily neap and spring) owing to the amount of time the mollusc is exposed to the corresponding condition (Hallmann et al 2009).…”

Accreting skeletal tissues found in bone, teeth, otoliths and molluscan shell act as sensitive recorders of local environmental and climatic conditions. Owing to their robust nature, ubiquity and abundance in the archaeological record as well as the potential for high-resolution data acquisition, the accreting skeletal tissues of archaeological molluscs are increasingly employed as palaeoenvironmental proxies. Researchers have chiefly utilised such proxies to extend instrumental records of environmental conditions through palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and explore the impact of environmental and climatic change on human populations. However, the use of environmental proxies from the archaeological record can be hampered by a number of methodological challenges including inadequate sampling strategies, appropriate calibration, the use of inappropriate proxies and the broad extrapolation of localised results. This paper reviews the use of molluscan shell from archaeological contexts as palaeoenvironmental proxies. We focus on the application of sclerochronology-a suite of high-resolution physical and geochemical data recovery methods widely used in conjunction with molluscan shell. This paper presents an overview of the potential of these techniques in approaching more nuanced understandings of human-environment interactions and how they can be more successfully incorporated into archaeological research.

Seasonality in sea surface temperatures from δ¹⁸O inCladocora caespitosa: modern Adriatic to late Pleistocene, Gulf of Corinth

High‐resolution stable isotope analysis of coral skeletons is an established method to help reconstruct seawater growth temperatures for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. Here we investigated the temperate, colonial, Mediterranean scleractinian coral Cladocora caespitosa. We first studied modern Adriatic corals from Mljet (Croatia) where growth temperatures were known. A clear sinusoidal cyclicity is present in the δ18O of the modern coral skeletons with average cycle minima ∼−3.3‰ and average maxima ∼−1.6‰. Cyclicity approximately matches the number of seasonal growth band pairs in each sample, implying a genetic link between δ18O cyclicity and factors that determine seasonal growth band development, here mainly water temperature. A derived and calibrated species‐specific δ18O–temperature relationship was then used to reconstruct growth temperatures from fossil C. caespitosa. This was applied to well‐preserved material collected from late Pleistocene deposits (MIS 1, 5 and 7) around the Gulf of Corinth, Greece. Clear seasonal δ18O signals are seen in all the fossil samples. MIS 5e was the warmest period studied with a lower than modern seasonal temperature range. The Early to mid‐Holocene probably experienced the lowest temperatures while conditions in MIS 7a/c were probably the wettest with most freshwater input into the Gulf.
