  1. Summary of dating horizons such as historical flood events, 137Cs peaks and radiocarbon dates from leaf remains used for the age model of sediment core THU18-Ku-03 (position in Fig. 1b). The total core depth and the event-deposit-corrected depth is given. The core-to-core correlation that illustrates the position of the flood events and the 137Cs peaks is shown in Additional file 1: Fig. S3
