“…A somewhat comparable hydrological change occurred in the RMS area in response to an earlier short and abrupt cooling event during the Lateglacial. Recent research (Crombé et al ., , ; Bos et al ., ) has convincingly demonstrated the link between the desiccation of numerous shallow freshwater lakes and ponds and the Intra Allerød Cold Period or GI‐1b, which occurred near the end of the Allerød between ca. 13 260 and 13 050 cal a BP (Rasmussen et al ., ).…”

In this paper the potential impact of the 9.3k cal a BP cooling event on the environment and human occupation in the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt region of NW Europe is investigated. Although various environmental (decreased fluvial activity, increased wildfires and changing vegetation) and cultural changes (lithic technology, raw material circulation, decreasing site density) can be identified in the (late) Boreal, a serious problem of equifinality remains. Lacking a high-resolution chronology for these events, it is still difficult to separate the impact of gradual from punctuated climatic changes. However, at present it seems that (some) environmental and cultural changes were already ongoing before the 9.3k cal a BP event but were accelerated by the latter. To gain a better understanding of these processes, it is necessary to take a holistic, multidisciplinary approach towards the Early Holocene in the southern North Sea basin. #

“…Synchronously with sand layers occurring within the gyttja, the abrupt decrease of calcium carbonates in the sediment is a characteristic sediment feature of the Dryas 3 (Hoek et al 1999;van Asch et al 2012a, b;Bos et al 2017).…”

In a paper from 1942 Johannes Iversen described a warm phase prior to the Allerød warming from lake Bølling in western Denmark and thereby extended the common classification of Lateglacial biostratigraphy. Iversen's assumptions concerning the Bølling-Oscillation were based on sedimentological features and high Betula (birch) pollen values in two pollen samples prior to the onset of the Allerød warming. Questions regarding the nature of the Bølling warming later became a discussion due to the expansion of terms into different fields and especially with advances in palynology. To further refine the knowledge on the Bølling-Oscillation, Hartmut Usinger investigated the locus classicus in 1982. The method of pollen-size-frequency distribution was applied on birch pollen in order to distinguish between B. nana-and B. pubescens-type pollen, however, the results were never published and got lost over time. Therefore, these data are presented here and the method as described by Usinger (

“…Even though contamination in the field cannot be completely excluded, there might be other reasons for this date 'migration' through the lower part of the sequence, such as redeposition of the dated plant macroremains in a highly dynamic sedimentary environment. Age reversal in Late Glacial sequences has been observed quite often (Bos et al 2017). In the case of the Lubrza palaeolakes (but possibly also other regions), the disturbance in biostratigraphy may be related to the melting process of the dead ice blocks during the pre-Allerød period.…”

This paper summarises the results of multidisciplinary research, including pollen, plant macroremains, diatoms, Cladocera, molluscs and geochemistry from a 14C dated core and geomorphological records, which reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental conditions faced by Late Palaeolithic hunter-gathers in western Poland. Particular attention was paid to evidence for both human activity and the degree to which Late Palaeolithic groups may have affected the local environment, as recorded by the biogenic sediments in lakes located close to their campsites. Vegetation first appears locally in the Oldest Dryas, and consisted of subarctic tundra vegetation. During the Bølling period the landscape was generally open, with dwarf shrubs and scattered patches of Juniperus and Hippophaë shrubs. Betula (tree birch) expanded locally in the area only in the later Allerød; during the second part of the Allerød period, Pinus and Populus joined birch as a sparse woodland developed. During the Younger Dryas, the landscape changed significantly in comparison to the preceding warm period, as result of cooling and drying of the climate. The presence of microscopic charcoal and charred herbaceous plant particles made it possible to detect human activity. These analyses allowed us to reconstruct fire events near the site during its occupation by Hamburg and Federmesser cultural groups. An increase in the proportion of biogenic elements such as Na, K and Mg in the sediments indicate soil erosion, reflecting the activity of Hamburg groups. A relative increase in the frequency of Cladocera which favour eutrophic and turbid water was recorded in the period linked to Federmesser group activities. The intense use of this area was also indicated during the Younger Dryas.
