Abstract:

Taking a palynological study from Dziewule in eastern Poland as an example, we discuss the problem of distinguishing the so-called `Zeifen-Kattegat oscillation' in some European pollen profiles. In the light of pollen analysis, this is questionable, and therefore requires careful consideration. In Poland, the palynological succession from this period indicates a gradual evolution from open plant communities to a closed forest in which no record of a `Younger Dryas' type cool event exists.
