Floodplain Chronology and Vertical Sedimentation Rates Along the Red River, Southern Manitoba*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper reports the accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon ages and geomorphic context of one bone and 38 charcoal samples collected from 12 floodplain exposures along the Red River, southern Manitoba. The stratigraphically oldest dates range from 3760 to 6710 cal BP and indicate that floodplain deposits of at least mid-Holocene age are preserved along the valley bottom. The average rate of lateral channel migration at the meander adjacent to section Ju30-1-98 is up to 0.08 m a-1 over the past 3850 years. In sections Se04-1-97, Ju30-1-98, Ju23-1-98 and Ju21-2-98, the rates of vertical sedimentation above and below 1 to 3 m depth, range from 0.3 to 0.8 mm a-1 and 1.7 to 3.7 mm a-1, respectively. The decease in sedimentation rates is interpreted to represent a shift from oblique accretion/proximal overbank sedimentation to distal overbank sedimentation. In sections Ju28-1-98, Au05-1-00, Au03-1-98 and Ju21-1-98, which are late Holocene in age, the average rates of vertical sedimentation range from 1.8 to 3.9 mm a-1. A toy plastic pail and two radiocarbon ages from section Au05-1-00 reveal an increase in modern sedimentation rates from 1.6 to 14.3 mm a-1. This increase may have been caused by greater fluvial erosion from the large-scale introduction of European agricultural practices in the 19th century.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
