LS-A	60.21	-159.75998	Kaufman, D. S.		5835 ± 155 14C AMS; 7993; Age is approximate. Derived from age model in Kaufman and others (2012).			Lacustrine core from Little Swift Lake in the Ahklun Mountains, southwest Alaska. Little Swift Lake is a small (0.7 km 2 surface area), 24-m deep drift-impounded basin capturing the drainage of a deeply carved; 10-km-long glacial valley. The drainage basin has no glaciers today, but extant glaciers occupy cirques 15 km to the southeast. See Axford and Kaufman (2004) for detailed description.	318.5 cm bottom depth in core (tube-depth, not tephra-free depth); 0.5 cm thick; fine sandy tephra; blocky pumice, generally crystal-rich, some bubble- walled and tricuspate shards.
