Abstract

Bluefields lagoon is a shallow aquatic ecosystem and historically influenced by human activities. These particular conditions could cause limitations in dating the sediments with nuclear techniques. Secondary analysis has been carried out in combination with nuclear techniques to determine if sediment cores are datable in the Bluefields Lagoon. The secondary analysis of Loss on Ignition and percentage of humidity in sediment cores of two points in the Lagoon were employed. According to the analysis of humidity and dating with Pb-210, only one of the two sediment cores presented some characteristics of dating.
