“…Further research results from various areas proved, however, that these muds were deposited throughout the late glacial and Holocene, although at a different rate (Kalicki, 2006). Many authors, however, still closely associate the appearance and sedimentation of these muds with an anthropogenic factor (e.g., Klimek, 1988Klimek, , 2003Lipps, 1988;Hiller et al, 1991;Pastre et al, 1991;Litt, 1992;Brown, Keough, 1992a, 1992bAlexandrowicz, 1996), which undoubtedly had a strong influence from the Middle Ages (e.g., Schirmer, 1995;Klimek, 1996;Houben, 2003) and initiated such deposition in small mountain catchments in the last few centuries (e.g., Hong, 1995;Mäckel and Zollinger, 1995;Klimek et al, 2003;Kukulak, 2004).…”
