Abstract
We reconstructed the climate of the Great Hungarian Plain between the years, 7–32 ka BP using a malacothermometer method. The reconstruction is based on seven Gastropoda taxa, for which optimal temperature and tolerance ranges have been determined. The temporal scales of the malacofaunal levels were calibrated with radiocarbon data. We compared our paleotemperature values with the temperature values of existing climatic curves and found the same climatic periods.Keywords
