Description :
Statistical correlations between the two independantly dated time-scales suggest that at 10 500-10 200 14 C years B. P. the varvechronology exceeds the 14 C chronology by the order of 500-600 varve/year. Further correlations between the time-scales at 12 000 14 C years B. P. suggest that the difference between the chronologies increased steadily from 12 000 to 10 000 14 C years B. P. If these correlations are correct they imply that the 14 C production rate increased steadily during the Late Weichselian.
