Lake level also important as lake not always closed but Since ,3000 14C yr BP the level of Lake Valencia has been dropping. Lake closed in present day, but last 2k isotoeps realtively fresh suggesting more open system?

DK: Reject and defer to ostracode-based timeseries. Good for replication

One ostracod species used here but other shell typrsd show similar trends with values offset with a smaller range

interpreting the data as a record of changing seasonality and/or isotopic composition (and therefore source) of precipitation, are therefore preferred
