- Abstract
- Sixteen radiocarbon dates extending back to 70000 years provide a chronology for the continuous continental pollen record of Grande Pile. This record reflects climatic changes over the last 140000 years in northeastern France. The cold period initiating the Middle Weichselian, dated previously at 55000 years, is dated at 70000 years before the present (B.P.) at Grande Pile. This event is marked by the disappearance of deciduous forests at this site. The Early Weichselian is placed before 70000 years B.P. A correlation with the oxygen isotope stages from oceanic records is demonstrated until 70000 years B.P. and attempted beyond.
