We have sampled Upper and Middle Paleolithic sediments in Caldeira ˜o Cave, Portugal, for paleoclimatic analysis. This work involved measuring magnetic susceptibility (MS) on continuous vertical profiles of a series of ȁ8 cc sediment samples, and using the MS data as a paleoclimate proxy. Previous w
