Prof. Dr. Lutz Kipp, DekanACKNOWLEDGEMENTThe accomplishment of this thesis was a big c haand llnuengmerous, people contributed to the final success. I am grateful to so many people and, hopefully, nobody is forgotten.My sincere gratitude goes to Prof. Dr. Nicola Fohrer for the initiation of this research, forher guidance, advices and constructive suggestions.S he provided a working environment for me to balance my professional and family life.I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Rudolf Bork from the Institut eof Ecosystem Re-search, Dept. Ecosystem Research and Geoarchaeology, Kiel niUversity, for being the co-ref-eree.Without Jürgen Banger from the Landeslabor Neumünster, not a single sample would ha vebeen analyzed. He supported me from the very beginning. His excellent experience was my rock in turbulent waters, when problems with the chemical analysis devices occurred (what happened quite often in the beginning).
