Abstract
Short-distance varve correlations across the Södertörn area have extended the continuous Swedish Time Scale back to about varve -1500 (about 10,400 B.P.). Varve -1073 (= 9,965 varves B.P.) is represented by a distinct drainage varve and a change from diatact to symict varves, recording the “drainage” of the Baltic Ice Lake at Billingen and the invasion of the sea into the Baltic. The varve chronology and the changes in the rate of ice recession provide new data for a firm correlation with the Finnish varve chronology.Keywords
