Abstract
The new BDP-98 drill core of the Baikal Drilling Project is a key palaeoclimate record in continental Asia because globally sensitive sedimentary records of such length and continuity are very rare. Kashiwaya et al. have attempted signal processing of the BDP-98 average grain-size record, but in constructing their age model they excised a 100-metre interval from the 600-metre section, stating that it is "erroneous". On the basis of our lithological studies, we consider that this excision is unjustified.
