Newly Discovered Late Glacial lakes in the Třeboň Region
Abstract
Under the water surface of the Velký Tisý fishpond and in its surrounding, four depressions were discovered by hand boring. Size of the depressions is several tens up to several hundred metres in diameter and they are filled by peat and thick lake sediments, which accumulated during the Late Glacial and Early Holocene. Pre-Holocene age of the deposits is supported by pollen-analytical investigation and by correlation of the sedimentary record with well documented record of the Švarcenberk Lake, situated 10 km N from the survey area. Northern part of the Třeboň basin therefore represents one of the most important research areas for the Late Glacial and Early Holocene period in Czech Republic.
