Abstract

The contribution gives a concise outline of European continuous chronologies of Upper Pleistocene, with special emphasis given to its early and middle glacial stages. Included is a discussion of deep-sea sediments, fossil ice, and pollen and loess profiles. Instead of the classic discontinuous alpine chronology consisting of three Wiirm stadials and two interstadials, a new chronological time-scale is proposed (Jig. 11), based on continuous chronologies. The Palaeolithic sites of Slovenia have as yet not been classified according to this new time-scale, however.
