62. The Mount Kenyan studies have been possible thanks to permits from the Kenyan Office of the President (No. OP/13/001/11C 192/16 and OP.13/001/25C 48). The project has received financial support from the Swedish Natural Science Research Council, the National Geographic Society, Carl Mannerfelts Fond, and Lagrelius Fond. We would like to thank our porters and in particular our guides Francis Karuri Kamoitho, Antony Gichuki Wachira and Stephan Maina Njane, who organized logistic support in an excellent way; without their help it would not have been possible to carry out the field work. Their enthusiasm and help with the coring was invaluable. Göran Possnert, Ångströmlaboratoriet, Uppsala University conducted the accelerator mass spectrometer dating.
