Abstract:
Two plant remains preserved in a clay sedimentary bed located in the Weuda area,
where the sediments are considered to be glacial in origin were dated using 14C
method. 14 C were measured using the Accelerator-Mass-Spectrometry. The samples
yielded the ages of 435±75 and 176±71 years and δ13C values of -28.4, indicating
relatively young ages for the plant remains. This indicate that the plant remains
deposited in a lacustrine environ
