Abstract: High-resolution and highly precise lead record for recent lake sediments (last 50-100 years) are essential for quantitative paleoenvironment research. Sample cores TE with a length of 85 cm, ZZ-2 with a length of 89cm and CB-1 with a length of 91cm were drilled in the deepest part of Tian'ezhou, Zhongzhouzi and Chiba oxbow Lakes by the Gravity Impact Core Sampler in Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River during November 2012. They were divided into sediment samples in which a set interval is applied to pick about every 1 cm. They were selected for understanding the Pb enrichment conditions and its environment significancs of oxbow lake sediments by using enrichment factor analysis. Dating of the 210Pb, characteristics of the grain size, frequency dependent susceptibility and element contents (Al and Pb) were analyzed. By the analyses of grain-size parameters and magnetic parameters of cores TE and ZZ-2 two stages of oxbow lake sediments,which named layer A (lower) and layer B (upper) can be distinguished. According to the average deposition rate and the diagnostic characteristics of the grain size and frequency dependent susceptibility, the possible sediment depth of the river/lake transformation event layer was found. After combining local chronicles with environmental events such as river/lake transformation events and flood events, which indicated by sediment characteristics, the high-resolution chronological sequence were set up. Three cores disclosed the lead enrichment records and its environment significancs of oxbow lakes. The results of the lead enrichment records show that, the characteristics of Pb unnatural enrichment in three cores are mostly identical. They all began in the early 1980s and declined in the 2000. Based on the high-resolution age of deposition rate and environmental events, which was closely related with the lead pollution history such as the beginning of the lead pollution and 2000 which the year of leaded petrol has been banned in China, it is thought that the result is caused by human activity impacts. By comparing and contrasting three lead enrichment records of three sample cores, the similar trend of three curves were found. It is indicated that oxbow lakes' river/lake sedimentary facies had no effects on the unnatural enrichment of Pb element. Based on the above study, it reveals that the possibility of using the unnatural enrichment events of Pb element as a time marker in the study area.

Key words: Oxbow Lake Sediments, lead element, unnatural enrichment, sedimentary events
