| Abstract | Referring to palaeohydrological events reconstructed from sedimentological studies of a deep core in Lake Mondsee (Austria), the paper by Swierczynski et al. attempts to document the ongoing debate whether the abandonment of Late Neolithic lakedwellings at Lake Mondsee was caused by (1) unfavourable climatic conditioons, (2) a single catastrophic event linked to a tsumnami provoked by a rock fall, or (3) cultural factors. Taken as a whole, the paper presents an interesting contribution to the debate, and it is well structured. The chronology of the sediment sequence offers on a robust time scale based on both varve counting and radiocarbon dates, while sedimentological analyses offer a precise environmental context from sediment microfacies and XRF studies. The climatic conditions reconstructed from the Lake Mondsee deep core appear to be in general agreement with other palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic records established in the Alps for the time window 7000-4000 cal BP.
