From the Newberry Library
Changes and context: Four distinct real manuscript leaves and four disjoint upper-column details of those same leaves, cropped and labeled as the surviving 1700-1703 copy. These are not the lost 16th-century original, not generated writing, not translations of the visible lines and not eight new photo origins. All count as evidence cards.
Lake Chichancanab gypsum-hydration-water isotope data and modeled drought probability
Evans et al., 2018; NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology archive, dataset24476 · 2018
Dataset DOI 10.25921/52v7-gc08; publication DOI 10.1126/science.aas9871; accessed 2026-11-04.
Changes and context: Three original plots of the actual 600-1100 CE subset: measured δ18O_ghw and δD_ghw in per mil VSMOW, and modeled drought probability 0-100%. No smoothing, invented interpolation or conversion of probability to rainfall reduction. No publisher figure copied.
