Some comments on the terminology of the Late Glacial in Central Europe and the problem of its application to SW Europe

Today, the Late Glacial interstadials Bølling and Allerød, originally defined in northern Europe, are often applied as chronozones in different palaeoclimate contexts across the Northern Hemisphere. The scientific community in both palaeoclimate research and archaeology often disregards the fact tha...
