Abstract

A sediment core from Trullvatnet, a lake at 1 m a.s.l. in the inner Murchisonfjorden area, northwestern Spitsbergen, was examined. The sediments in the 3 m-long core cover a period of about 7000 C¹⁴ years and show a sequence of two marine-lacustrine contacts in the lower region. The renewed connexion with the sea of the basin between 5500 ± 140 and 4745 ± 120 C¹⁴ years ago, followed by a final isolation, suggests an interruption in the general negative trend of shoreline displacement.
