Early Holocene history of the Baltic Sea, as reflected in coastal sediments in Blekinge, southeastern Sweden
Integrated palaeoecological studies of two fiord sediment sequences in the province of Blekinge, SE Sweden, covering the time span 11,000-5000 cal BP, reveal the timing and the environment for the Ancylus Lake/Littorina Sea transition 9800-8500 cal BP. The first ingression of saline water into the B...
