Text Description:	Tephra unit KD is found in the eastern, western, and northern regions of the island; it is exposed in 10 stratigraphic sections (Tannenbaum_1996_PP-01, Tannenbaum_1996_KB-01, Tannenbaum_1996_KB-02, Tannenbaum_1996_KB- 03, Tannenbaum_1996_CL-01,Tannenbaum_1996_ CL-02, Tannenbaum_1996_CL-03, Tannenbaum_1996_OB-01, Tannenbaum_1996_OB-02, Tannenbaum_1996_OB-04), and is yellow in color with an average thickness of 4 cm. c14 dates give tephra KD a maximum age of 7220 +/- 70 yr BP and a minimum age of 6490 +/- 80 yr BP. In section Tannenbaum_1996_CL-02 tephra KD is possibly mixed with tephra KA. However, post depositional mixing is unlikely to have happened to units KA and KD because in section Tannenbaum_1996_CL-03, the 13 cm thick unit KC and 12 cm of soil separate the units.
