Description
Summary:The first radiocarbon dates available on the evolutionof the freshwater carbonates of the Danube-Tisza Interfluveare presented in this work along with their possibleuses to precisely date paleoecological and paleoenvironmentalchanges. This work also gives the basis of acomparative analysis of the Holocene radiocarbon-datedprofile of Csólyospálos with other Hungarian radiocarbondatedprofiles of the same age (Bátorliget, the Sárrét,etc.) and the implementation of a detailed chronologicaland regional paleoenvironmental study. Furthermore,our findings clearly demonstrate the importance of radiocarbonanalysis in the study of terminal Pleistoceneand Holocene Hungarian sedimentary sequences for accuratelydating and reconstructing the chronological orderof paleoenvironmental changes as well as the evolution ofthe natural endowments plus the regional comparison ofthe various profiles.
