Abstract

During the geological mapping to SW of Raciąż the Eemian Interglacial deposits were recorded. The pollen analysis of the samples from Sokolniki Stare allowed the authors to distinguish six pollen assemblage zones which illustrate the evolution of vegetation during the interglacial period. The geological setting of the Eemian lake area is strictly connected with the deformations of Quaternary deposits and their basement. The lake and bog depressions are concentrated along the edge of the Plock Upland slope which dips to the north toward Raciąż Depression.
