AMS 14C dating gives anextrapolated age of ca. 70 kyr for the sequence analysed. Rock-magnetic measurements (including c, cfd%, ARM, SIRM, hysteresisparameters and S ratios), organic content (LOI) and particle size distribution show highly contrasting conditions between glacialand late glacial-Holocene sediments. Dry conditions prevailed between 70 000 and 45 000 yr ago. The full glacial, between 34 000and 19 000 yr ago, is characterized by moist conditions. The late glacial-Holocene sediments display a five-fold increment in mostof the magnetic parameters and in sedimentation rate. This change is interpreted as an increment in runoff waters. At ca. 7000 yrB.P., a dry period is recorded, which probably spans until 6000 yr B.P., when moist conditions return. The onset of the actual aridcharacteristics occurred around 4000 yr B.P. 1999 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56838303 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.3 Vol.38
