have been continuously accumulated during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.
Gravity core 211650-5 and piston core 211660-1 were sampled at that site in 1997
and core 303610-12 in 2005. Here we have used these three cores as references for
the age model and stratigraphic analysis.
For coring we used gravity corers from 6 to 12 m length. The facies of the sedi-
ments have been analysed with respect to three main categories: sediment physical,
geochemical, and microfossil (diatomological) analysis. Sediment physical vari-
ables provided the base for stratigraphic zonation and spatial correlation of sediment
