Description :
Dendrochronological analysis of fossil wood from Two Creeks, Wisconsin, reveals that the Two Creekan Interstade lasted at least 252 yr. The sites crossdated by tree rings cover an area of about 970 km2. AMS determinations from the beginning and end of the chronology open a 14C time window for the episode from 12,050 to 11,750 yr B.P. The interval is contemporaneous with the Older Dryas in northern Europe. Discussion of the results.
