Abstract

Pollen analyses were made of 25 peat sections obtained in summers 1947 and 1952. Present vegetation of the region and postglacial vegetation as revealed in the peat sections are described, and an interpretation of postglacial climate and chronology is given. Significant chronological correlation was found with postglacial thermal maximum of south central Oregon and eastern Washington. The thermal maximum may have occurred about 6,000 years ago, with the xerothermic interval lasting from 7,500 to 3,500 years ago. (Arctic Bibliography (Arctic Institute of North America))
