  abstract = {{A} multidecadal-scale lake-level reconstruction for {L}ago {W}inaymarca, the southern basin of {L}ake {T}iticaca, has been generated from diatom species abundance data. {T}hese data suggest that similar to 6500 cal yr {BP} {L}ago {W}inaymarca was dry, as indicated by a sediment unconformity. {A}t similar to 4400 cal yr {BP}, the basin began to fill, as indicated by the dominance of shallow epiphytic species. {I}t remained somewhat saline with extensive wetlands and abundant aquatic plants until similar to 3800 cal yr {BP}, when epiphytic species were replaced by planktic saline-indifferent species, suggesting a saline shallow lake. {W}inaymarca remained a relatively shallow lake that fluctuated on a multidecadal scale until similar to 1250 cal yr {BP}, when freshwater planktic species increased, suggesting a rise in lake level with a concomitant decrease in salinity. {T}he lake became gradually fresher, dominated by deep, freshwater species from similar to 850 cal yr {BP}. {B}y similar to 80 cal yr {BP}, saline-tolerant species were rare, and the lake was dominated by freshwater planktic diatoms, resembling the fresh and deep lake of today. {T}hese results reveal a more dynamic and chronologically specific record of lake-level fluctuations and associated ecological conditions that provide important new data for paleoclimatologists and archaeologists, to better understand human-environmental dynamics during the mid- to late {H}olocene.},
