Cumulative Probability Density Functions (CPDF) for sets of 14C dates of peat were constructed for different geographic regions of Poland. On the preliminary stage of our study, CPDF for Southern Poland region seemed to be in good correlation with appropriate distribution for Lowlands and Lake Districts region, but rather in anticorrelation with Baltic Coast region. Similarly, CPDF for Baltic Coast region and Lowlands and Lake Districts region seemed to be in anticorrelation. Authors made Monte Carlo experiment to estimate significance of correlation coefficient value. The amount of dates in analysed sets is too low to draw unequivocal conclusions.
