Radiocarbon age determinations of peat and wood samples from mount fulufjället, dalarna, sweden

Abstract

During the investigation of the erosional effects of the rainstorm on 30‐31 August 1997 on Mount Fulufjället, two samples have been radiocarbon age determined. The results give a maximum age of events occurring earlier. One sample of an exposed Picea trunk in the sandur of the stream St Göljån was radiocarbon dated to 1320±120 ¹⁴C years BP. The lowermost part of a peat sequence in a soligenous mire in the valley of the stream Tangån was radiocarbon dated to 1455±70 ¹⁴C years.
