A buried podsol profile in one of the ancient inland dunes at Brattforsheden in central Sweden is described. Two C14-datings of this horizon gave ages of 2940 (3030) ± 90 B. P. and 500 (510) ± 70 B. P. Evidently, transformation of the dunes has occurred much later than the main dune-building period, which according to previous investigations (Hörner 1927) ended shortly after the deglaciation of the area (about 10.000 B. P.).
