Abstract

Lithology, measurements of dry density, total organic carbon and first microstratigraphic investigations were used to calculate a tentative time scale for the lacustrine sediments from Lago Grande di Monticchio. A comparison of these records with dated Italian lake sediments of Valle di Castiglione, Lago di Vico and Lagaccione Maar and with the eolian dust record from Vostok ice core (Antarctica) demonstrates the time scale to be reasonable. According to this tentative time scale the 51.8 m of sediment cover the last 70,000 years.
