Abstract
A sequence of palynological events spanning the last 7000 years is developed for the Waterton Lakes area. The period from 7000 to 5000 yr B.P. was warmer and drier than present, from 5000 to ?4000 yr B.P. a cooler, moister climate prevailed, followed by a warmer and drier climate from ?4000 to 3000 yr B.P., which in turn was followed by a progressive cooling of the climate from 3000 yr B.P. to the present.
