The bars indicate the 95.4% probability intervals of the calendar ages in Tables 5 and 6 . OxA-37728 and OxA-37729 (which date intrusive human bone from the overlying Cardial context), OxA-5521, OxA-5541 and OxA-8670 (which reflect incomplete decontamination and are minimum ages only), and OxA-22301 (which is from a subfossil marine shell) have been excluded. Plotting of the NGRIP climate curve used CalPal (version 2017.5) [ 83 ]. The magnetic susceptibility curve is from Fig 6A , here sectioned into segments whose length has been adjusted to account for the hiatuses and the dating.
