This paper describes a technique for the enumeration of tephra shards from lake sediment cores whereby approximately 85% of unwanted sediment fractions (organic matter, biogenic silica, carbonates) are removed by selective stepwise chemical attack. The order of 100 samples can be prepared simultaneously in a modest-sized water-bath and the recovery rate of the technique is greater than 90%. The procedure is appli cable to all lake sediment types.

Key Words: Tephra • tephrochronology • lake sediments • preparation • pretreatment • extraction.
