Abstract
The first 14C dates for representatives of the Late Pleistocene – Early Holocene megafauna are reported from sites in Kaliningrad Province, Russia. The dates for woolly mammoth and cave lion are older than ca. 45 000
bp, and could have corresponded to the Middle Weichselian interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage 3). The age of reindeer is ca. 10 000
bp, and of aurochs ca. 7000
bp. This shows that megafauna existed in this part of the Eastern Baltic region prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). After the LGM, Kaliningrad Province was recolonized by reindeer.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Quaternary Science publishes original papers on any field of Quaternary research, and aims to promote a wider appreciation and deeper understanding of the earth''s history during the last 2.58 million years. Papers from a wide range of disciplines appear in JQS including, for example, Archaeology, Botany, Climatology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Glaciology, Limnology, Oceanography, Palaeoceanography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Palaeontology, Soil Science and Zoology. The journal particularly welcomes papers reporting the results of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research which are of wide international interest to Quaternary scientists. Short communications and correspondence relating to views and information contained in JQS may also be considered for publication.
