We report an age-depth profile for the sediments of the Lake Hestvatn, southern Iceland, based on (super 14) C analyses of the organic fraction of bulk sediment samples, molluscs and foraminifera. Our age-depth curve is supported by the occurrence of the well-dated Vedde ash in the lowermost part of...
