Radiocarbon dating the Holocene in the Gosciaz Lake floating varve chronology

Abstract

Terrestrial macrofossils selected from laminated sediment of Lake Gosciaz were dated by AMS. Thus, part of the floating varve chronology (FVC)(Goslar et al. 1993) between radiocarbon ages of 4225±45 and 7740±85 BP can be compared and placed on the 14C calibration curve. As a result of this dating, the top of the FVC is now dated between 3120 and 3300 cal BP, ie 3210±90 cal BP. -Authors
