palaeoenvironmental changes; landslide-related sediments; absolute dating; Holocene; Outer Western Carpathians

Due to the lack of other suitable data in the mid-mountain region of the Outer Western Carpathians, the landslide-related deposits (landslide-dammed palaeolakes, intercolluvial and near-scarp peat bogs) are the key sources of the Late Holocene landscape development. Using standard sedimentological analyses combined with absolute dating, we studied tens of sedimentary cores and outcrops in the study area. The most important information we got about the Late Holocene environment is the evidence about local onset and character of human activity in the study area.
