Abstract

29 samples of glacial deposits of the Warta (= Saalian II) Glaciation were dated. The deposits of marginal zones of the Maximum and Wkra (= I posunaximum) stadials were analyzed in four selected regions. Presented here results indicate that during the Maximum Stadial, about 185-170 ka BP, the ice sheet has been located in NE Poland within its marginal zone of extent. This stadial could be correlated with the substage 6.6 of the isotopic·oxygen curve of deep·marine deposits. However, during the Wkra Stadial the ice sheet advanced, to the maximum extent, about 165-150 ka BP, so it could be correlated with the substage 6.4 of the same curve.
