Abstract
The author reports a significant find in 1966 of a tree stump in a sand pit on the ice marginal delta Hensmoen—Jytmoen in Ringerike, South Norway. Radio-carbon dating placed its age to ca. 48,000 years B.P. which means that the discovery presents evidence that at least the lower parts of southern Norway were ice-free at this time. Finds of similar age are known from the neighbouring countries.Keywords
