Abstract The Banyoles lacustrine sequence shows that the vegetational history of northeastern Iberian Peninsula during last 30,000 yr follows North Atlantic pattern climatic oscillations. pollen diagram, supported by two calibrated 14 C dates and nine U/Th dates, a clear interstadial event between 27,000 B.P., Pleniglacial period with minor oscillations ended abruptly ca. 14,420 ± 410 late-glacial records classical stages described in Northern Europe: Bølling-Allerød Interstade, Younger Dryas at 12,000 B.P. (U-series age), short warming phase cold (dated 11,000 U-series age).
