Peculiarity of certain organic deposits within the fluvial environment of the Oulanka valley, north-eastern Finland

An examination is made of certain organic deposits dating back at least 5000 years according to palynological evidence in existing fluvial sedimentary environments and certain older environments in the Oulanka valley. The sites concerned are described in detail, with their radiocarbon dates and the...
