The thermoluminescence chronostratigraphy of glacial deposits of the Maximum and Wkra (= I postmaximum) stadials of the Warta Glaciation in southeastern Poland
29 samples of glacial deposits of the Warta (= Saalian II) Glaciation were dated. The deposits of marginal zones of the Maximum and Wkra (= I posunaximum) stadials were analyzed in four selected regions. Presented here results indicate that during the Maximum Stadial, about 185-170 ka BP, the ice sh...

| Summary: | 29 samples of glacial deposits of the Warta (= Saalian II) Glaciation were dated. The deposits of marginal zones of the Maximum and Wkra (= I posunaximum) stadials were analyzed in four selected regions. Presented here results indicate that during the Maximum Stadial, about 185-170 ka BP, the ice sheet has been located in NE Poland within its marginal zone of extent. This stadial could be correlated with the substage 6.6 of the isotopicoxygen curve of deepmarine deposits. However, during the Wkra Stadial the ice sheet advanced, to the maximum extent, about 165-150 ka BP, so it could be correlated with the substage 6.4 of the same curve. |
