Research Abstract

Sampling if sediment-laver(20-40cm) was performed at the interval of every 3m from the top to the core depth of 800m on the 1400m long sediment core drilled from Lake Biwa. An inter-disciplinary research team was established so as to carry out the analysis of the core sample from various aspects. Namely, micro-fossils, such as pollens, and planktons, organic chemical fossils such as chlorophylls, fatty acids, carbohydrates and lignins, inorganic components from macro to trace elements and carbonisotope ratios were included.
On summarizing the results obtained, following conclusions were deduced.
1) During the period about 2.0-2.5 million years ago(core depth:804-732m), the site drille was like a swamp or a part of river with shallow water.
2) In R layer(core depth:732-582m), the water depth became a little deeper and a small lake or pond was formed.
3) In S layer(core depth:582-250), the lake water retreated and the lake disappeared.
4) In T layer(core depth:250-0m), the lake basin of the present Lake Biwa began to formed.
