[HQR03-P10] Reassessment of Lagoon-Specific Marine Reservoir Effects in Tongatapu, Kingdom of Tonga, over the Past 3000 Years
キーワード:放射性炭素、海水準変動、南太平洋
Lagoon-specific local marine reservoir effects (ΔRlagoon) were introduced as a novel proxy to estimate the radiocarbon (14C) activity change in the lagoon freshwater proportion in Fukuyo et al. (2020). In Tongatapu island, ΔRlagoon values increased linearly between ~2.6 and 0.4 ka, which suggested that ΔRlagoon value increase was caused by the near-closure of the Fanga ‘Uta Lagoon. However, these values still presented large errors. Here, we present 10 new Δ14C and 16 new ΔRlagoon values from G. tumidum combined with the previously published values and a ΔRlagoon value recalculated using Marine20. Moreover, we examined whether the 14C value of G. tumidum reflected that of the dissolved inorganic carbon in the lagoon water. Although the new ΔRlagoon values were similar between 0.4 ka and 1.2 ka, the values increased from 2.6 ka to 1.2 ka. This timing was consistent with geophysical comparisons reported in our previous study and archaeological studies.
