Wiek tarasów zalewowych rzek świętokrzyskich w świetle datowania "poziomu czarnych dębów" metodą 14C
Abstract
Na podstawie oznaczeń wieku bezwzględnego "poziomu czarnych dębów" (1300 ± 130 lat BP, 1190 ± 120 lat BP), zachowanego w tarasach zalewowych rzek świętokrzyskich, stwierdzono, że akumulacja piaszczysto-madowych osadów tarasowych pokrywających ten poziom była wynikiem wezbrań powodziowych w czasach historycznych. Do powstania tych wezbrań wydatnie przyczyniało się karczowanie lasów przez naszych przodków, zdobywających od VI-VII w.n.e. coraz to nowe obszary przydolinne pod uprawy rolne.THE AGE OF RIVER FLOOD TERRACES FROM THE GÓRY ŚWIĘTOKRZYSKIE IN THE LIGHT OF 14C DATINGS OF THE·"BLACK OAK HORIZONS"The horizons of black trunks known as black oak trunks, traced in sections of Holocene terraces studied (Figs. 1-4) appeared to be much younger than the Holocene climatic optimum, that is 1850 ±35 to 1190 ± ·120 years old. So large differences . in age of the trunks make it necessary to assume the possibility of occurrence of several black trunk horizons of different age in Holocene alluvia (Tab. 1).Traces of chopping, noted on both trunks from the Czarna Sulejowska (Fig. 2) and Czarna Nida river valleys (Fig. 3) evidence the Man activity in the Góry Świętokrzyskie in the early Medieval times. Taking into account the same mode of preservation of trunks from the two localities it should be stated that we are dealing here with the same or similar cycles of valley accumulation. The accumulation resulted from lateral incision of valley sides during floods determined, among others, by deforestation of the area by our ancestors.Downloads
