The suitability of the peat layers for dating depends on two essential assumptions: a closed-system behaviour excluding uranium migration after deposition and the contamination of peat by varying amounts of detrital thorium, which has to be corrected owing to its essential effect on calculating 230Th/U ages. The radiometric and TIMS dating results are in good agreement for certain fen peat layers correlating with MIS 3 and 5, as confirmed by independent age control through radiocarbon and luminescence dating methods.
