Abstract

We describe here a multiproxy dataset (grain size, environmental magnetism, stable carbon isotope, total nitrogen, and total organic carbon) generated on a similar to 116 cm long trench profile from the high altitude alpine Badnikund lake in the Central Himalaya. The dataset also includes environmental magnetic and organic geochemistry data on catchment soils of the Bednikund lake. The presented data is related to the research article ``Middle Holocene Indian summer monsoon variability and its impact on cultural changes in the Indian subcontinent{''} {[}1] . The chronology of the Bednikund lake trench (BBK) profile is well established with seven AMS C-14 dates. The multiproxy data is provided in tabular format in an excel file along with ages in Mendeley Data Repository. The multiproxy data can be significantly utilized for regional correlation of Indian summer monsoon (ISM) variability during the middle Holocene as well as for correlation of global climatic events. The data can also be reutilized in paleoclimate modelling for precipitation change over the past similar to 6000 years. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. (AU)
