| Research Abstract |
The Middle Pleistocene lacustrine sediment occupies on the southeast slope of Yatsugatake volcano. It is named Kawakami lake deposit which intercalates several kinds of tephra layer such as scoria and volcanic ash. Some parts of the sediment are composed of so called verve like clay which are alternated with black and white band. Thickness of each layer is around 2mm. It can be calculated total layers more than 3,000 within about 5m of sediment. According to the result of diatomite analysis, the whitish part formed from autumn to spring. It may be indicated a set of white and dark bands as a annual deposit set. The *alynological analysis indicates that the vegetation change after falling a scorian layer may be characterized with the decrease of herbs.
