Radiocarbon Dating Organic Detritus: Implications for Studying Ice Sheet Dynamics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Abstract
We present here a description of the 14C dating method used at the Institute of Geology, Estonian Academy of Science. We discuss results of geochronological studies of several stratigraphic sections, from which we estimate the age of the Late Weichselian (Late Valdaian) glacial maximum. 14C and paleobotanical data indicate that biodetrital materials comprise organic debris from various sources and suggest only a maximum age of investigated strata (16,000 BP).
