Abstract
At Cil-maenllwyd (Cardiganshire) glacial outwash sands were found to contain layers of small wood fragments. A radiocarbon age determination of 33,750 yrs B.P. indicates that the wood fragments are probably of Middle Würm age, and that the last glaciation of St. George's Channel occurred during the Main Würm. Pollen and spores contained in the sands suggest that the environment prior to the last glaciation was at one stage predominantly forested. The organic remains are thought to relate to the problematical “ Middle Würm Interstadial ”, rather than the Paudorf Interstadial.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
