Abstract

Abstract Pollen analysis and radiocarbon datings were made on two samples of silty sand and silty clay with organic material. These fine-grained sediments were covered by 6–7 m sandy gravel in a deposit at Aseda, central Smaland, southern Sweden. The pollen flora indicates that the organic material represents remains of a tundra vegetation. The radiocarbon analysis has given Younger Dryas ages (10 170 and 10 400 B.P.). The deglaciation of the area around Aseda was evidently complicated. The ice is thought to have left the area at about 12 200 B.P.
