Rajamae, Raivo 1979 12 01: Pleistocene glaciation chronology of Spitsbergen. Boreas, Vol. 8, pp. 401-407. Oslo. ISSN 0300-9483. Geomorphological and geochronological studies of Pleistocene deposits were carried out in sections along Billefiorden and Bellsund as well as on Broggerhalvoya and Prins Karls Forland. For pur~oses of correlation and development of a time scale, radiocarbon ("C) and thermoluminescent (TL) dating methods were used. The dates obtained indicate the presence of older Pleistocene deposits on Spitsbergen and also provide information on the distribution of Middle Pleistocene glacial deposits. A correlation scheme of Pleistocene deposits of Spitsbergen with stratigraphic units of the Alps and northwestern Europe is presented.

Many mammoth remains have been radiocarbon-dated. We present here more than 360 14C dates on bones, tusks, molars and soft tissues of mammoths and discuss some issues connected with the evolution of mammoths and their environment: the problem of the last mammoth; mammoth taphonomy; the plant remains and stable isotope records accompanying mammoth fossils; paleoclimate during the time of the mammoths and dating of host sediments. The temporal distribution of the 14C dates of fossils from the northern Eurasian territory is even for the entire period from 40 to 10 ka bp.
