A new early Holocene shoreline displacement record for Blekinge, southern Sweden, and implications for underwater archaeology

Abstract: We present evidence of a submerged early Holocene landscape off the Blekinge coastline in the Baltic Sea, dating to the Yoldia Sea and Initial Littorina Sea Stages when the water level was lower than at present. 14C dated wood remains obtained by surveillance diving and new archaeological findings in combination with bathymetric analyses and interpolations between other sites across the Baltic Sea were used for refinement of the shoreline displacement history of the region. The new results reveal a Yoldia Sea … Show more

“…Shoreline reconstructions were made using the ArcGIS 10.3 software based on the shoreline displacement records from Haväng [6] and Blekinge [93]. Five palaeo-shoreline maps, showing the shoreline configuration during five key periods, were created; the Yoldia Sea lowstand, the Ancylus Lake transgression phase, the Ancylus Lake maximum, the Initial Littorina Sea minimum and the Littorina Sea transgression phase.…”

“…before 11,700 cal BP, and the Littorina transgressions, after 8000 cal BP, providing good evidence of fluctuations at levels above present sea level (cf. Hansson et al 2018c). Pine stumps dating to the Yoldia and Ancylus stages have been found sporadically in the Blekinge Archipelago.…”

“…The waters of south-western Sweden, such as the Öresund Strait between Denmark and Sweden, (Hansson et al 2018c). The trends are similar in both areas, but the levels are different due to differences in land uplift and the southernmost Kattegat Sea, are not part of the Baltic Sea proper, and have a different shoreline displacement history, as these areas have been connected to the Atlantic Ocean since the deglaciation.…”
