Concerning AMS dating of pollen see S. Jahns in Veget. Hist. Archaeobot. 14:55-66, there the method after Brown 1994 and Regnéll and Everitt is described and used. best wishes, Felix Dr. Felix Bittmann Niedersächsisches Institut für historische Küstenforschung Viktoriastr. 26/28 26382 Wilhelmshaven Tel. 04421 / 915 146 Fax. 04421 / 915 110
