Abstract

Vaana Lagoon (59°22'30N, 24°25'00E) is located 25 km west of Tallinn in ancient Vaana Klint Bay at a 22 m Litorina Sea isobase. Lagoonal deposits were reinvestigated and new results of pollen, diatom, loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility analyses, and radiocarbon datings were used for the reinterpretation of previous studies. The onset of the Litorina Sea trans- gression in the region is dated to 8300 cal yr BP and culmination to about 7000 cal yr BP. New material shows a single Litorina Sea transgression and denies the twofold transgression suggested earlier.
