Description :
The AA. present the first accelerator-mass-spectrometer (AMS) 14C dates from Atlantic Canada, at or close to the boundaries of this late glacial cooling, from six sites in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The results place the timing of the Younger Dryas event in Atlantic Canada closer in line with the traditional chronozone boundaries of 11 000 and 10 000 yr B.P. in Northwest Europe.
