Description :
Micromorphological analysis of five sections, partly with a macroscopically traced gradual transition, partly with an abrupt boundary, shows that in all cases no hiatus occurred between the peat and the drift sand. Consequently the radiocarbon dates of the upper part of the peat do not give a date postquem for the drift sands, but represent dates during the early phases of sand drifting.
