Lidar digital terrain model of the main valley of Phnom Kulen Plateau with 1× vertical exaggeration. A: Thnal Srae Thbong; B: Thnal Mrech; C: NS cut bedrock; D: EW extraction lines; E: channel; F: Sediment core sampling (Imagery: Stéphane De Greef/Archaeology and Development Foundation).
Figure 3.
Plot of wet (grey)/dry (black) bulk density, loss-on-ignition at 105°C and 550°C, DeBroukere mean diameter, volumetric magnetic susceptibility and stratigraphic units for core TMR/B. Light gray shading represents sand beds. Dark gray shading represents no data. See text for descriptions.
Figure 4.
Mineral particle size analysis of core TMR/B.
Gray shading represents sand beds. Particle size classification follows the Wentworth classification scheme [56].

Results of AMS radiocarbon dating of wood samples from core TMR/B.
Figure 5.
Pollen results (trees and shrubs).
Concentration of pollen (individuals per cm3 of sediment) from trees and shrubs, plotted against depth/age, for core TMR/B. Closed circles represent rare taxa that did not exceed 5% of the total microfossil assemblage in any sample. Light gray shading represents sand beds. Pollen zones based on classification of the whole assemblage.
Figure 6.
Pollen results (herbs, ferns).
Concentration of pollen (individuals per cm3 of sediment) from herbaceous plants (dryland, wetland and aquatic), ferns, and ‘fern allies’ (Selaginella, Lycopodiopsida), plotted against depth/age, for core TMR/B. Closed circles represent rare taxa that did not exceed 5% of the total microfossil assemblage in any sample. Light gray shading represents sand beds. Pollen zones based on classification of the whole assemblage.
