The L ate P leistocene stratigraphy from the S evernaya D vina‐ V ychegda region of northwestern R ussia is revised based on investigations of new localities, revisiting earlier localities, introduction of about 110 new OSL dates and burial depth corrections of earlier published OSL dates, in addition to six new radiocarbon dates.
