“…There are biogenic sediments at this site indicating the Eemian and two interstadials of the Early Weichselian (Jastrzębska-Mamełka, 1985), covered with mineral silt deposited in periglacial conditions. In northeastern Poland, a group of two melt-out kettle-holes was found, filled with biogenic sediments of the Eemian and the Early Weichselian (Rychel et al, 2014;Woronko et al, 2017). The original forms were remodelled at that site by subsequent intensive denudation, indicating more advanced periglacial climate during the Weichselian towards the northeast (cf.…”

In the examined part of central Poland, there are numerous kettle-hole basins filled with mineral and biogenic sediments of the Eemian Interglacial and Early Weichselian. These basins are located in varied geological and geomorphological locations with variable thicknesses of the sediments and deposits. The infillings were investigated by lithological and palaeobotanic methods. Lithology of the biogenic sediments is diverse, primarily gyttja and peat, but also organic silt. A number of the documented sites contain a record of environmental changes throughout the glacial-interglacial cycle from the end of the Warta Stadial (Saalian) to Early Weichselian. Local geological, geomorphological and hydrological conditions influenced the possibility of continuous peat-lake accumulation and the timing of the completion of this accumulation. Biogenic sediments are covered with the Middle and Late Weichselian mineral sediments which indicate climatic changes and are the main reason for rapid and synchronic degradation of kettle-hole infillings.

“…2B). Most likely, the same form of this kind of dry valleys can be associated with the outflow of subglacial/fluvioglacial water during the Middle Polish (Saalian) Glaciation -Warta Stage [7]). With no doubtrelief of this region was formed during the Middle Polish (Saalian) Glaciation -Warta Stage.…”

The aim of the study is to identify the environmental context of the archaeological settlement complex located near Grodzisk. The research area is located in the northeastern part of Poland, in the Podlaskie province, in Sokólski district near Suchowola. To determine the conditions of the environment in which the society of this Early Medieval settlement complex functioned, interdisciplinary research was applied. These were invasive and non-invasive methods (geological boreholes, archaeological excavations, electrofusion, magnetometr, and GPR prospecting). The analyes were supplemented with geomorphological and geological mapping of Quaternary sediments. Environmental analyes were used to construct detailed geological cross-sections, update the geomorphological map, verify the existing maps, and identify the environmental context of archaeological site. Geophysical analyes revealed the occurrence of anomalies that could be connected with the settlement from the Early and the Late Medieval. The area between the two large rivers of the region (Biebrza and Supraśl) has not been subject to wider archaeological discussion the arly , especially in aspect of interdisciplinary research Thanks to the obtained results, both sites in Grodzisk (site 1 -hillfort, site 2 -settlement) were verified in detail. Non-invasive recognition of their construction and the acquisition of dating material will consequently lead to more complete conservation protection.

“…It includes morainic hills with salients reaching up to 220 m asl. Small wet depressions were noted in the flat-bottomed valley and in the upper parts of the first-order dry valleys (Woronko et al, 2018). An upper-reach portion of a dry valley near Jałówka village was subjected to detailed studies.…”

“…A new long sequence of Eemian and early Vistulian lake sediments was identified in the vicinity of Jałówka village in the Sokółka Hills region, NE Poland, and investigated palynologically. The initial results of this research were presented in an earlier paper, but only in a very general manner (Woronko et al, 2018). The aim of the current study is to reconstruct the vegetational changes in greater detail—both around and directly in the study basin.…”

Eemian and early Weichselian environmental changes at the Jałówka site, NE Poland, and their correlation with marine and ice records

Vegetation changes were documented across the last interglacial period (MIS 5e, Eemian) and continuing through the older part of the last glacial period (MIS 5d–a, early Weichselian). This study was based on pollen data collected at the Jałówka site, NE Poland. Two cold oscillations appeared within warm periods during this stage of the upper Pleistocene. The older oscillation was the temporary intra–interglacial cooling at the end of the Eemian. The younger one was the intra–interstadial cooling that occurred within the oldest interstadial of the early Weichselian (MIS 5c, Brørup). This last event corresponds well to the stadial separating both the Amersfoort and Brørup sensu stricto interstadials in the Netherlands and to the Montaigu event as recognized in France. The development of a pollen sequence allows speculation as to potential correlations with Greenland ice cores and marine records. We suggest that the Eemian in NE Poland may comprise not only MIS 5e, but also a part of MIS 5d. This supposition could shed light on potential for non-synchrony in upper boundaries of the MIS 5e and terrestrial Eemian in Europe. We await the development of more precise independent dating controls to validate our theory more assiduously.
