"Inland dunes in the Southeastern United States represent periods of low precipitation and (or) monsoon conditions with persistent and (or) recurrent West and Southwest winds. Geomorphic position, stratigraphic position, and C-14 ages suggest that the most recent period of dune formation began some time after 15 ka and ended between 5 and 3 ka."
