Abstract
The plant macrofossil assemblage from terrace deposits, 18, 340±430y.B.P. by radiocarbon dating in Tado-cho, Kuwana-gun, Mie Prefecture in central Japan, is composed of many remains of subarctic and cool-temperate conifers, i.e., Larix leptolepis, Pinus koraiensis; cool-temperate and warm-temperate conifers, i.e., Tsuga sieboldii; some remains of cool-temperate deciduous broadleaf taxa, i.e., Fagus crenata; cool-temperate and warm-temperate deciduous broadleaf taxa, i.e., Betula grossa, Quercus serrata; many remains of marshy herbaceous taxa; etc. Judging from this fossil assemblage, it is presumed that there was a cool-temperate mixed broad-leaved deciduous and coniferous forest about 18, 000 years ago.
