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

higher d18O values should correlate with lower water levels, as inferred from the diatoms, indicating periods of reduced precipitation. In fact, the opposite appears to be the case - these two indicators tend to have a slight positive correlation rather than a negative one.
