Abstract

The sediments of shallow basins formed along the coast of the Baltic glacial lake around 14,500-14,000 cal BP provide a valuable source of information for reconstructing environmental changes in the Bølling-Allerød. Radiocarbon dating and complex lithological and diatom analyzes were performed for the deposits of one of these paleo-reservoirs, exposed in the Kulikovo section (northern part of the Sambian Peninsula). Diatoms of the sediments formed 14,100 – 13,400 cal BP are mostly presented by benthic and epithytic oligohalobic species. We compared the obtained data with existing ideas about the Late Glacial diatom flora for this region to identify general and local patterns of diatom communities formed at that time.
