Narrative

I did deposits sampling in “Chli-giol”-2 (the main bog I named “Chli-giol”-1, and other smaller neighboring one to right from Aparan – north road I called “Chli-giol”-2). Sampling was impossible in “Chli-giol”-1 because of high level of water. “Chli-giol”-2 is about hundred meters in diameter round convexity. Today only some dozen meter round place in the centre of bog was full with water. I took samples from mid between bog center and margin (to road). Surface was dry. Ground waters begin to fill the trench (~1x1m) since 110 cm. In section upper plants roots peat like layer with ~30 cm thickness is visible; below that ~10 cm transitional yellowish layer and below all those mud (organic rich clay) deposits are. I took sample from each 10 cm (totally 22 samples), 1 for paleopalynology (11 samples) and 1 for paleocarpology (11 samples), later I will do subsampling for radiometric dating. I offer to do dating one sample from 1 m depth and to orient according to that, dig deeper or not. Also we will know the proximal speed of deposits accumulation.
