Abstract: Abstract from
ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/icecore/trop/kilimanjaro/kilimanjaro.txt

Six ice cores from Kilimanjaro provide an ~11.7-thousand-year record
of Holocene climate and environmental variability for eastern
equatorial Africa, including three periods of abrupt climate change:
~8.3, ~5.2, and ~4 thousand years ago (ka). The latter is coincident
with the "First Dark Age," the period of ... View entire text
