This view countered the prevailing Flint (1943) paradigm that envisionedArctic, is intrinsically related to the LIS (Løken, 1966). The delta is graded to a sea level 80 m higher than present and contains in situ marine bivalves dated>54,000 14C yr B.P. The shoreline associated with the Aston delta extends continuously for more than 70 km along the Aston Lowland and is visible on satellite imagery. A complex assemblage of coeval landforms is linked to the shoreline, including numerous glacial meltwater channels that grade to the shoreline and to other smaller deltas at the same elevation.
