Ice recession in central Sweden, and the Swedish Time Scale
Author:
Abstract
The revision by Järnefors (1973) of the Swedish Time Scale, bascd on vnrve chronology, is criticized as regards the connection between the Sundsvall and Bollnäs‐Söderhamn regions. A numbcr of facts briefly reviewed in the article indicate that the ice iecession proceeded in a more northerly direction than according to Järnefors. The absence of connection, a different direction of ice recession, and the possible error found by Fromm (1970) could together produce an error in the time scale which in southern Sweden may exceed 1000 years.Keywords
