Abstract
Synopsis: A marine shell ( Mytilus edulis ) radiocarbon age from late-Devensian clays at 29.5 m O.D. at Dumbarton indicates that the lower Clyde area may have been deglaciated around 13 700 BP. The clays are succeeded by plant-rich, shelly, freshwater sediments which are in turn locally overlain by peat. On the basis of one of two radiometric assays of plant material, the non-marine deposits are considered to have formed much later, towards the end of the Loch Lomond Stade (c.10 300 BP).
