A calendar age estimate of the Younger Dryas-Holocene boundary at Kråkenes, western Norway
The Younger Dryas/Holocene transition (YD/H) in the sediments of Kråkenes Lake, western Nor way, is well marked both lithologically and palaeobiologically at 756.5 cm in the investigated core. A series of 70 AMS radiocarbon dates on terrestrial plant macrofossils and the NaOH-soluble fraction of lak...

The Younger Dryas/Holocene transition (YD/H) in the sediments of Kråkenes Lake, western Nor way, is well marked both lithologically and palaeobiologically at 756.5 cm in the investigated core. A series of 70 AMS radiocarbon dates on terrestrial plant macrofossils and the NaOH-soluble fraction of lake sediment was measured between 585 and 840 cm, covering the time span c. 10 440 to 7915 BP on the radiocarbon timescale. Forty-three of these dates above 760 cm were wiggle-matched against the German oak-pine dendro calibration curve (IntCal 93) with recent corrections in both the oak and the pine sections. With an increase in age of the pine dendro-series of 200 6 20 yr, the calendar age of the YD/H lithostratigraphic boundary at Kråkenes is estimated to 11 530 +40 -60 cal. BP. By using a date of 9750 BP (11 170 cal. BP) on the transition between the 10 000 and 9600 14 C plateaux as a time marker, this result is compared with recent results from other archives.
