We report delta O-18 and delta C-13 values of 21 fossil shells from the aquatic gastropod Radix from a sediment core taken in the eastern basin of Lake Karakul, Tajikistan (38.86-39.16A degrees N, 73.26-73.56A degrees E, 3,928 m above sea level) and covering the last 4,200 cal yr BP. The lake is sur...
