Comparison of the new, high‐resolution, 2000‐year ice record from the Swiss‐Italian Alps with other lead records from Europe: (a) discrete lead concentration data from the Colle Gnifetti ice record (with superimposed 10‐point running average), and comparisons of the Pb enrichment factor from the ice record (light grey circles and 10‐point running average) in comparison to (b) annually laminated lake‐sediment record from Kassjön, northern Sweden (Brännvall et al., 1999); (c) peat record from Store Mosse, southern Sweden; (d) peat record from Kolhütte Moor in the Black Forest, Germany (Le Roux et al., 2005); (e) peat record from Ludlow Bog, England (Le Roux et al., 2004); and (f) lake‐sediment record from the alpine lake Meidsee, Switzerland (Thevenon et al., 2011), located about 35 km from Colle Gnifetti. The dashed vertical line corresponds to the peak of the Black Death, 1350 CE, discussed in detail by More et al. (2017) (note that the x axis units are different for the lead records).
