Lithostratigraphy and radiocarbon dates from a 1.3 m-deep gully section in Bevringsdalen, SW of Jostedalsbreen in western Norway, with alternating minerogenic (glacial) and peat (non-glacial) layers, demonstrate that glaciers upvalley from the site were present during the following intervals: 2595 ± 85 BP (840-700 cal. BC) to 2360 ± 80 BP (525-385 cal. BC); between 2250 ± 65 BP (395-225 cal. BC) and 2150 ± 80 BP (360-105 cal. BC); between 1740 ± 75 BP (cal. AD 205-385), and 1730 ± 75 BP (cal. AD 210-395); and subsequent to 1430 ± 45 BP (cal. AD 595-645). Detailed altitudinal fluctuations of the glaciation threshold/equilibrium line relative to the present have been reconstructed for the time interval between 1430 ± 45 BP (cal. AD 595-645) and 3180 ± 90 BP (1540-1395 cal. BC).
Key Words: Late Holocene • glacier fluctuations • equilibrium lines • Jostedalsbreen region • climatic change • Norway.
