A pollen diagram from a former fresh water basin situated at a water depth of 27 m in the central Store Belt (Denmark) is presented. A rise in ground water level during the early Boreal, dated at 7110 ± 120 B.C., is interpreted as a reflection of the eustatic rise in ocean level. The sea level was hardly above - 30 m during the Boreal (zone V). It is supposed that the sea entered the Baltic through the Store Belt during zone VI. The transgression of the basin at the beginning of zone VII is considered a local event.
