The published ice core records for Quelccaya, Peru are shown to contain numerous errors in annual layer determination, introduced by the subjective methodology of the original analysis. A new methodology is presented that aligns and then merges d 18O sample measurement profiles from the two Quelccaya cores. Absolute dating of the stratigraphy is established by comparison of prominent dust anomalies with documented earthquake reference-marker events. The results demonstrate that the original sample measurements can register a comprehensive millennial climate history at sub-annual resolution, thus also offering great potential for clearer interpretations of ENSO signals in tropical Andean ice cores.
