| Abstract: | Stratigraphical investigations of an inter-till peat in Brumunddal suggest a major interstadial of Early Weichselian age. The insect fauna and the pollen composition indicate a mean July temperature 2–3 C lower than today during the climatic optimum. Larch and spruce immigrated at the end of the interstadial, which is tentatively correlated to the Jamtland Interstadial. |
