2002: Radiocarbon-dated Mytilus edulis and Modiolus modiolus from northern Svalbard: climatic implications
Eighteen new age determination s on Mytilus edulis shells from northern Svalbard and two new age determination s on Modiolus modiolus shells are presented.Mytilus edulis appeared on the northern coast of Spitsbergen c. 9400 yr BP. Its maximum extension there seems to have been c. 7250 yr BP, which i...
