The paper presents the analysis of organic and mineral sediments filling the depression, which developed over the landslide located at the slope (767-773 m a.s.l.) of LubaA ridge decscending to the Ochotnica river valley in the Polish Flysch Carpathians. The landslide formed in an early stage of the Subatlantic Phase (2490 +/- 35 BP). The top of peat is dated at 1360 +/- 50 years BP and is covered by 72 cm of clayey silts with some sandy intercalations, which indicate slopewash after deforestation. The pollen of ruderal plants and Cerealia (undiff.) reflect agricultural activity in the surroundings. The fragments of charcoal indicate the age of the forest clearance to the first half of the 17(th) century. The late forest clearance at the elevated north exposed slopes followed 200-300 years later in relation to the foundation of the village at the valley floor.
