The paper discusses the structure of the bottom sediments of Lake Chukhlomskoye (Kostroma region, Russia). The results of complex lithological analysis and 14C AMS dating (TOC) of the sediments revealed in two boreholes located in different geomorphological positions of the bottom relief allowed to reconstruct stages and conditions of sedimentation in the lake. Mass accumulation rate (MAR) was calculated. High values of MAR correspond to 25.4–17.5 cal ka BP (up to 0.192 g/cm2 per year), a sharp decrease of MAR corresponds to 17.9–16.7 cal ka BP, and another stage of sediment influx occurred in Younger Dryas. Holocene MAR is low (0.001–0.053 g/cm2 per year).
