    Abstract

    Three pollen diagrams, two fruit and seed diagrams and 18 radio-carbon datings have been carried out on Late Weichselian gyttja and peat layers, 1½ km from the former outlet from the lake Böllingsö. Although some radiocarbon datings give an age of more than 12,000 B.P., the sediments can not be accepted as having this age. The explanation is that Bölling peat was rebedded at this locality in the Alleröd period. This explanation should not be applied to Böllingsö, where the Bölling period layers are incontrovertible. The upper Younger Dryas sediments also contain rebedded older material in great amount. The diagrams cover the period from probably late Older Dryas to Pre-Boreal.
