Abstract
Two hundred and fifty C-14 dates available from the French Massif Cent ral, Germany and From High Belgium are discussed from a new point of v iew. It is shown that in an area of the French Massif Central as small as 100 x 100 km, Holocene pollen features in pollen diagrams can be t reated as biostratigraphic tools delineating time ranges of several ce nturies. Larger time ranges characterize the Early Holocene warming (Q uercus, Corylus), and shorter ones, the Middle Holocene (Tilia, Fagus) . The method of calculation described in this paper can be applied wit hin any area. (C) 1998 INQUA/Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved .
