Abstract
This locality has previously yielded the youngest dated in situ fossil pine stump from above the current pine limit in Sweden. A new radiocarbon age determination supports the validity of the original dating as early first millenium B.C. The pine dates, in conjunction with palaeosol dates from beneath nearby solifluction lobes, suggest an absolute age of circa 2 800 years B.P. for the local climatic transition to the Sub-Atlantic period. This note forms report no. 18 from the Okstindan Research Project.Keywords
