Meltwater from a 299-m-long ice core was filtered and analyzed for fossil pollen and spores. Pollen concentration was higher in the late Holocene and interglacial intervals (ca. 7 liter −1 ) than in the early Holocene and Wisconsinan (ca. 1–2 liter −1 ) ones. The late Holocene and interglacial assem...
