Abstract
Magnetic remanence data from six till sites in New England indicate that the predominant late Pleistocene till types found in southern and central New England can be differentiated on the basis of statistically distinct virtual geomagnetic poles (VGPs). The lower till records an excursion (VGP = lat. 27.7° N, long. 165.2° E) tentatively correlated with the Lake Mungo excursion dated at approximately 32,000 years BP. The use of characteristic remanence is suggested for dating of tills in New England where other conventional methods cannot be applied.
