Abstract Heavy metals profiles in sediment cores are discussed in terms of their source profiles, using a simple approach where the mixing is considered as a diffusive process. The results are compared with the deconvoluted profiles obtained by the Fourier transform technique of Christensen and Osuna (1989). Agreement is found for cases of negligible and fast mixing respectively. For intermediate mixing the physical conditions lead to a result different from that of Christensen and Osuna. This comparison highlights the value of combining the two approaches.
