Paleoenvironmental multiproxy dataset of the Quaternary abandoned channel in Tövises bed, Great Hungarian Plain

To obtain the multiproxy paleoenvironmental dataset from southeast Great Hungarian Plain (GHP), 345 sediment samples were collected at one cm intervals from the cores retrieved from Tovisies bed paleochannel, and six samples were analyzed for 14C dates. The obtained radiocarbon dates were calibrated to calendar ages using the IntCal20 calibration curve. Bayesian statistics within the R bacon 2.5.8 age-depth modeling package were used to establish the age-depth model and it represented the time frame for the entire dataset. The obtained polymodal grain size distribution (GSD) data was unmixed into four EMs using the AnalySize v.1.2.0 algorithm, employing the built-in General Weibull function which helped explain the dynamicity of the endmembers' sedimentation process. To understand the alluviation history, the endmember abundances were correlated with LOI55, LOI950, and magnetic susceptibility. The dataset presented in this article could be of potential reuse for studying the spatial-temporal environmental changes and in geoarchaeological research, providing insights into how human societies adapted to environmental shifts across the southeast GHP.
