DOI: 10.1080/14634980600876039 Site discussed: Lake Winnipeg - South Basin. Multi-core study using short cores that extend to the late nineteenth century AD, and longer cores that extend to about 900 yr BP (thirteenth century AD). Phosophorus increases upcore are attributed to anthropogenic activities in the watershed. Most of the discussion focusses on the upper parts of the cores, dealing mostly with the twentieth century record. (04/04/2009).
