Summary/Abstract: In the stratigraphic scheme of the late Plenivistulian and early Late Vistulian on the territory of Poland, the Bölling interphase is recognised as the first warming. However, there is some evidence collected at different research sites that points to an earlier warm oscillation. It has been termed Kamion, after the site where biogenic sediments deposited about 18,000 to 16,800 cal BP were first documented. The aim of this paper is to present other such sites in Poland and to discuss the potential evidence for this warming in global paleoclimatic data.
