- W2956555495 abstract "During the African Humid Period (AHP), between ~14 and 5 ka, north and eastern Africa were much wetter and greener than they are today. Although the AHP has long been attributed to an increase in rainfall driven by orbital forcing, many details regarding the timing, pacing, and contributing moisture sources remain to be determined, especially for eastern Africa. Recent research suggests that both Atlantic and Indian Ocean moisture contributed to the AHP in eastern Africa. Large mammalian faunas from two Late Pleistocene/Holocene rockshelter sites in southern Somalia, Gogoshiis Qabe and Guli Waabayo, provide an unusual opportunity to investigate the AHP in an area of eastern Africa that is orographically isolated from Atlantic Ocean moisture. To track changes in aridity at these sites, we used the oxygen isotope aridity index, which exploits the difference in tooth enamel oxygen isotope (δ18O) values between evaporation insensitive obligate drinkers and evaporation sensitive non-obligate drinkers to calculate a water deficit value. Water deficit values calculated from dik-dik (Madoqua spp.; non-obligate drinkers) and warthog (Phacochoerus spp.; obligate drinkers) tooth enamel δ18O values at Gogoshiis Qabe and Guli Waabayo are in agreement and progressively increase toward the present. Additionally, two of three direct dated serially-sampled warthog teeth (ID 4032 and 4033) from Guli Waabayo demonstrate low seasonality of rainfall during much of the AHP (range in δ18O ≤ 1.8‰). One tooth (ID 4035) with high amplitude variability in δ18O values (3.1‰) dates to 8470 ± 66 cal yr B.P., a period identified as a lowstand in several lake level records. Our results suggest that regions isolated from Atlantic Ocean moisture likely experienced a less-pronounced AHP than those receiving moisture from multiple sources but indicate less seasonal variability than present. Our findings also support the presence of climate variability within the AHP." @default.
