title = "Outwash of terrestric soils into Lake Saksunarvatn, Faroe Islands",
abstract = "A number of radiocarbon datings from Saksunarvatn, Faroe Islands, (figs. 1, 2 \& 3 and table I) has shown that in some cases older strata overlay younger layers. The explanation is that due to erosion of peat in the catchment area, older material has been transported out into the Jake. This is shown by the content of fungal hyphae in the sediments (fig. 4). Sediments from lakes with river inflow can therefore not be used for palaeoecological studies unless close radiocarbon datings can make sure that this serious error does not occur. It is supposed that these processes of redeposition demonstrated for this Faroese lake occur in all mountain areas.",
