A pre-Late Devensian pollen site from Camp Fauld, Buchan, north-east Scotland
Recent investigations at Camp Fauld in Buchan, Scotland have yielded two peat deposits of pre-late Devensian age. Percentage pollen diagrams are presented. One peat is radiocarbon-dated to 34-39 ka sp, which prompts correlation with the Hengelo-Denekamp sequence of NW continental Europe, but the pol...
