摘要：

Macrofossil analyses of a Quaternary, till-covered sequence in Washing ton Land, north-western Greenland, are indicative of biotas similar to those of today. The only southern extralimital species found is Empetrum nigrum; its presence indicates slightly higher summer temperatures than today. AMS radiocarbon dating confirms that the sequence is pre-Holocene, and we suggest that the sequence belongs to the last interglacial stage.
