Abstract: Large sections in cave deposits are exposed in the Holstejnska Cave in the Moravian Karst (Czech Republic). The study of the genesis and age of these cave deposits poses a clue to the reconstruction of this cave system and of local paleohydrographic history. The time of deposition was determined by 10 26 U-series dating of speleothems, Be and Al dating of quartz pebbles, radiocarbon dating of charcoal, measurement of paleomagnetic record in both clastic sediments and speleothems and by archeological evidence.
Key words: cave deposits, Quaternary, U/Th dating, Moravian Karst, Czech Republic
