A 10,600 year pollen record from Nong Thale Song Hong, Trang Province, South Thailand the outside of the barrel, and to the shoe. Sediment characteristics cannot be recorded until the core is extruded in the laboratory. The samples upon which this research is based comprised two cubic centimetre subsamples taken at 5 em. intervals from the 5.5 to 145.5 em levels of a 3m core. The material was all fine grained: clay, silt, to medium sized sand with clay predominating. Standard laboratory techniques were used in processing except that samples were left to disaggregate in cold hydrofluoric acid for a week to gently destroy as much silica as possible, then the process was speeded up by heating in a water bath for about five minutes. The subsequent preparation involved treatment with Calgon to deflocculate and disperse the clays. Five tablets containing a known number of marker Lycopodium clavatum spores (cf Stockrfl.arr 1971) were added to each sample to derive pollen-and rillcrofossil charcoal concentration fig~es. The pollen spectra have been interpreted using information concerning · the topography 0~ the . site, ecological and botanical literature and field work experience in other parts of Thailand. The author has not visited Nong Thale Song Hong. Radiocarbon dating Five AMS radiocarbon dates have been obtained from the core (Table 2). All the samples were pre-treated at the Beta Analytic laboratory and measured using the Oxford University accelerator. The dates from core sections 2TS 1, 2TS2 and 2TS3 (Table 1), are consistent, but the two dates from section 2TS4, while consistent for that section of the core, do not fit in with the overlying sequence. It has been assumed here that the dates from 2TS 1-3 are in a reliable sequence and that the base of the core is about 22,000 years old. This is being tested by measuring the 0 13 C values for several other samples from the cores and through phytolith analysis. Only one sample from 2TS4 contained enough pollen to be countable and this suggested a duplication of core 2TS3. The pollen record from c. 10,650 upwards shows a coherent set of vegetation changes and it is difficult to see how either tectonic activity or inwash of old carbon from the slopes could explain the inversions and the lack of countable pollen in the other samples. The pollen and pteridophyte spore record Only core sections 2TS 1 and 2 will be considered here. Firstly, looking at the general changes in the pollen and pteridophyte concentrations (Figure 4), it appears as if there was greater deposition in the early period but these figures have been deri¥ed using just two radiocarbon dates and sedimentation rates may have varied quite considerably at different times during the Holocene. Using those same two dates to calculate pollen deposition/cc/yr indicates that the high pollen and pteridophyte concentration rate is more apparent than real (Figure 5) but the concentrations/cc and concentrations/cc/yr run largely parallel for the middle to later Holocene. The same is true for microfossil charcoal particle concentrations. The high value for the c. 10,300 BP level may not be real, but all the later ones are. A greater pollen and pteridophyte spore deposition in the early Holocene would imply wetter conditions than at present due to an intensification of the south west monsoon rainfall as the airmass passed over a larger expanse of sea as sea level continued to rise and was able to pick up more moisture. At this time the watertable may have Table 2 AMS dates from Nong Thale Song Hong, Trang Core Depth Radiocarbon age Laboratory 0 13 C, parts/mil Sediment-ation number (em) (uncalibr.) number rate (cm/yr) 2TSI 84-90 6330±50 Beta-106539 -26.0 0.014 2TS2 50-60 10,820±50 Beta-1 06537 -25.4 0,015 2TS3 36-40 21,170±90 Beta-106538 -22.3 0.007 2TS4 25-31 9,420±50 Beta-1 06540 -27.4 0.004 2TS4 16,490±120 Beta-10 1966 -27.9 Journal of the Siam Society, Vol. 86, Parts I & 2 207
