Diversity and age of sediments building kame hills near Suchedniów (Kielce Upland, central Poland) – first results

Abstract

The kame hills and terraces in the northern part of the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship (central Poland) were the subject of research in the 1970s. In 2019, further research was started using new methods to determine the age and genesis of the sediments that build this forms. A 15-meter high profile was made to expose one of the kame at the active sand pit western site. Two excavators and a climbing harness were used for this purpose. The exact descriptions and photographic documentation of the entire outcrop was made. The samples for grain size analysis using the sieve and planimetric methods was obtained, as well 11 samples for TL dating were also taken. The obtained results were compared with the existing knowledge on the glaciation of this part of Poland
