In this paper, the data of carbon 14 dating and optical luminescence of a lacustrine sediment profile in nanmucuo lake of zari in the south of Qinghai Tibet Plateau are analyzed. The data are tested by automatic optical luminescence dating instrument and accelerated mass spectrometry. The optical luminescence experiment is carried out in Qinghai Salt Lake Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the carbon 14 dating experiment is carried out in beta Laboratory of the United States. The data are reliable. This data reveals the lake evolution process of South mucuo Lake in zari in the past 5000 to 2000 years. Moreover, it is proved that the PL age is more reasonable than the C 14 age. In addition, it has a good application value in the study of the evolution process of the "ancient Pan Lake" in the hinterland of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the regional climate and environmental changes.

File naming and required software

File name:
The data are named cq1-a, cq1-b, cq1-91 and cq2-26. Among them, CQ is the first letter of the section name "Cuoqin", 1 and 2 are section numbers, and 26, a and B are samples of different depths. A. B is the lake bank sample of section 1, and the rest is the lake facies sample.
Carbon 14 data are named cq1-24, cq1-88b and cq1-88g. CQ is the first letter of the section name "Cuoqin", 1 and 2 are section numbers, 24 and 88 are samples of different depths. B. G is different kinds of samples, B is bulk organic matter, G is aquatic plant residues.
