Palynological investigations of Eemian deposits in the Drentsche AA area (Drenthe, the Netherlands)
Abstract
Two organic layers from the Upper Pleistocene of the northern Netherlands are investigated in detail for their pollen content. Comparison of the pollen diagrams with the standard Eemian biozones indicates that the continental peat growth and/or accumulation of organic material (mor) started during the E4/E5 phase. A hiatus in the deposits with an Eemian age is discussed.
