New data were obtained by the author on the current activity of radiocarbon and carbon-13 concentrations in groundwater and travertines of the Pymvashor hydrothermal system located at the junction of the Pechora plate of the East European Platform and the Pre-Ural down warp. Thermal waters and travertines have been dated using isotopes carbon, uranium-234, uranium-238, and thorium-230. It is established that the age of travertine varies from a maximum of 7.7±1.5 thousand years in the upper part of the travertine structure to a minimum of 2.5±0.5 thousand years in the lower one, which is associated with neotectonic uplift in the travertine deposits area and, accordingly, sequential formation of 12 travertine terraces. According to the original author's method, the radiocarbon activity in ancient thermal water was estimated during the deposition of travertine in the period from 7.7±1.5 to 2.5±0.5 thousand years ago. The author has also calculated the initial activity of radiocarbon in this water over the period from 13...
