TLDR
In this paper, the authors collected 50 seismic profiles with a total length of similar to 850 km to identify continuous undisturbed sedimentary sequences for potential ICDP locations, and cored 10 different locations to water depths of up to 420 m.About:

Michael McCormick,Ulf Büntgen,Mark A. Cane,Edward R. Cook,Kyle Harper,Peter Huybers,Thomas Litt,Sturt W. Manning,Paul Andrew Mayewski,Alexander More,Kurt Nicolussi,Willy Tegel +11 more
TL;DR: A first synthesis of what the written records and multiple natural archives (multi-proxy data) indicate about climate change and variability across western Eurasia from c. 100 B.C. to 800 A.D. as discussed by the authors confirms that the Roman Empire rose during a period of stable and favorable climatic conditions, which deteriorated during the Empire's third-century crisis.

A review of molecular organic proxies for examining modern and ancient lacustrine environments
TL;DR: In this article, the use of a number of commonly utilized organic geochemical and isotopic proxies and their potential for environmental reconstruction in Quaternary lacustrine deposits is discussed.

Climatic, vegetation and cultural change in the eastern Mediterranean during the mid-Holocene environmental transition
TL;DR: In this article, stable isotope data from lake and deep-sea sediment cores and from cave speleothems show an overall trend from a wetter to a drier climate during the mid Holocene.

TL;DR: An undisturbed climate record from a North Greenland ice core, which extends back to 123,000 years before the present, within the last interglacial period, shows a slow decline in temperatures that marked the initiation of the last glacial period.

TL;DR: A high-resolution oxygen-isotope record from a thorium-uranium–dated stalagmite from southern Oman reflects variations in the amount of monsoon precipitation, indicating that early Holocene monsoon intensity is largely controlled by glacial boundary conditions.
