Preliminary Palynological, Stratigraphical and Sedimentological Results (A1 Core Sample) of Aygır Maar Lake (Süphan Volcano, Eastern Anatolia)

Öz

This manuscript presents the first palynological, stratigraphical, lithological and sedimentary results from a maar lake of one of the of the A1 core sample of Aygır Maar in Eastern Anatolia (Bitlis, Turkey). The 62 cm long A1 core sample was taken from 12m water depth using a gravity corer. The core samples include laminated, fossiliferous levels and pyroclastic material. There are three different levels where the lithological characteristics and sediment content change (out of palaeoclimatic control) suggesting a transition from a deep to a shallow lake at depths between 24 and 29 cm, between 21 and 23 cm and between 5 and 15 cm. We predicted a very high reservoir age of at least 10-13 ka based on pollen analysis and pollen correlations. According to our palynological results, Holocene palaeovegetation of Eastern Anatolia highlands was represented by steppe elements mainly dominated by Poaceae, Amaranthaceae and Artemisia. Human impact around the study site, according to our preliminary findings, may have been effective as cultivating (Juglans) at the northern part of Lake Van. A high amount of deciduous Quercus and total AP existence reaching ~ 45% suggesting the prevalence of relatively humid conditions around the maar lake during the Late Holocene.
