      <abstract>Marine sediment core EW0408-33JC (57.162°N, 135.357°W, 146 m water depth) was recovered from Katlian Bay, a temperate fjord near Sitka, Alaska, in August 2004. EW0408-33JC is the jumbo piston core collected from the same site as EW0408-32MC, which was described  in Addison et al. (2013; hereafter referred to as A13). This data release describes the most recent 2,000 years of EW0408-33JC, as established by a combination of radiometric 137Cs and excess 210Pb (see A13), and five accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C samples (see Table DR1). After calibrating these AMS 14C samples using the INTCAL20 curve (Reimer et al., 2020) in CALIB 8.20 (Stuvier and Reimer, 1993), the full set of geochronology data was input into the R software program (R Core Team, 2021) package CLAM (v. 2.6.1; Blaauw et al., 2010) to generate a composite age-depth model for EW0408-33JC data. The composite depth scale was established using Geotek multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) data and linescan imagery to align EW0408-32MC, EW0408-33JC, and the trigger core for the jumbo piston core system EW0408-33TC. The MSCL data (gamma-ray wet bulk density and whole-round magnetic susceptibility) and linescans showed that EW0408-32JC recovered the sediment-water interface (see A13 for more details), and that a shift of +33 cm was needed to align EW0408-33TC with the datum of -32MC, and a shift of +54 cm was required to align EW0408-33JC; together, these alignments permitted the generation of a continuous composite depth scale from 0 cm (= sediment-water interface) to 553 cm bsf (below sea floor), which is the composite depth horizon associated with 2000 years ago.

Scanning X-ray fluorometry (XRF) data were collected from the split surfaces of cores EW0408-32MC, -32TC, and -33JC (see A13 for analytical details). Using the composite depth scale and alignment of the XRF data from the three cores, a continuous XRF data splice was generated. This splice uses the following depth horizons: 0-27 cm bsf in EW0408-32MC; 27.2-65.0 cm bsf in -33TC; and &gt;65.0 cm bsf in -33JC. This data release specifically focuses on the scanning XRF datasets for bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl), as the Br/Cl ratio has been shown to reflect variations in primary productivity (A13; Table DR2). In addition to the raw counts per second units for Br and Cl, statistical calculations are also included: the geometric mean of all X-ray counts, which is in turn used to calculate the centered natural-log-ratio (clr) transformations of both Br and Cl. The resulting clr Br / clr Cl ratio is calculated, and a two-part linear background is removed from the dataset to correct for sediment compaction (see A13 for more details). The detrended clr Br / clr Cl data are presented in their native format, as well as being normalized to Z-scores; raw and 10-yr multi-pass smoothed data are included in this data release. A multi-decadal (40-yr) variance calculation is also included.

        <procdesc>	The cores considered in this data release were collected by the R/V Maurice Ewing in September 2004. EW0408-32MC, -33TC, and -33 JC were collected using the Oregon State University (OSU) multicore rig, trigger core system, and jumbo piston coring system, respectively, in Katlian Bay, Alaska. EW0408-32MC is 38 cm long, 33TC is 71 cm long, and 33JC is 1819 cm long (divided into 16 sections). Following retrieval, all cores were analyzed shipboard using a GEOTEK Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) at 1 cm intervals. The cores were then split, lithologies described, and linescan images were collected using the MSCL GEOSCAN 3-CCD camera, which yielded RGB images with a pixel resolution of 100 pixels/cm. 137Cs and excess 210Pb data for EW0408-32MC has been presented previously (Walinsky et al., 2009), with minimum detectable activity limits of 0.15 dpm per g for 137Cs. All EW0408 cores are archived at the OSU Marine and Geology Repository.
	This data release describes the most recent 2,000 years of the composite EW0408-32MC, -33TC, and 33-JC sediment core set, as established by a combination of radiometric 137Cs and excess 210Pb (see A13), and five accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C samples (see Table DR1). After calibrating these AMS 14C samples using the INTCAL20 curve (Reimer et al., 2020) in CALIB 8.20 (Stuvier and Reimer, 1993), the full set of geochronology data was input into CLAM (v. 2.6.1; Blaauw et al., 2010) to generate a composite age-depth model for EW0408-33JC data. Age-depth modeling was performed using the R software program (R Core Team, 2021) and the CLAM package (v.2.6.1; Blaauw, 2010), which used the 2-sigma calibration range of each date with weighting by calibrated probabilities, 10,000 Monte Carlo-style iterations, and calendar age point estimates for depths that were based on the weighted average of all non-reversing age-depth curves.
	Semiquantitative geochemical data were collected on u-channel samples from EW0408-32MC, -33TC, and -33JC using an Avaatech XRF core scanner (Richter et al., 2006) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The u-channel surfaces were lightly scraped to expose a less oxidized layer of sediment and then covered with 4-micron thick SPEXCertiPrep Ultralene foil to prevent excess drying or contamination of the sediments during analysis as the XRF sensor moved downcore. Both cores were analyzed at 10, 30, and 50 keV energies for 10, 20, and 30 seconds, respectively, where the 10 keV energy level was used to detect the elements Al through Fe, 30 keV was used for Cu to Bi, and 50 keV measured Cd to Ba. A thick Cu filter and a Pd filter were placed in front of the Rh X-ray source for the 30 and 50 keV scans, respectively, to limit the lower energy bremsstrahlung and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Measurement slit size for
the EW0408-33JC core set was 10 x 2 mm. Post-processing followed steps described in Addison et al. (2013).
