Abstract:

Several geoscientific projects in the last decade led to a marked increase of radiocarbon dates in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and in neighbouring areas. The studies were mostly focussed on the genesis of the Baltic Basin and the last termination. In this Paper, a regional collection of 271 radiocarbon dates of the late Pleistocene and early Holocene (ca. 50,000-8,000 14C yr BP) is presented. The dates were calibrated, correlate, and assessed with regard to their credibility.

The evaluation of the data is focussed on problems of regional palaeogeography. The age of the last Weichselian deglaciation (deglaciation after the Mecklenburg Advance) is assumed to be around 14,000 14C yr BP through radiocarbon dates from the Pomeranian Bay. This data is ca. 1,000 years older compared to former views. On the other hand, the database allows the dating of late Pleistocene basin sequences from the Baltic coast, This indicates three stratigraphic units for basin areas 0-15 m above sea level - glaciolacustrine sedimentation in the late Pleniglacial, lacustrine and telmatic sedimentation as well as soil formation in the early Lateglacial and Alleroed and aeolian sedimentation in the Younger Dryas. The Younger Dryas in the huge Mecklenburg Bay-Darss Basin NE of Rostock is characterised by lacustrine sedimentation ca. 20 m below sea level („Baltic Ice Lake"), and by aeolian sedimentation above sea level.
