The Laugerie-Interstadial is the first warm phase after the last ice age maximum of the Vistula high glacial . It lasted from 21,500 to 20,000 years BC. Chr.

designation

The Laugerie-Interstadial or Laugérien , formerly known as Würm III-IV , was named after its eponymous type locality Laugerie-Haute .

Stratigraphy and Correlations

The Laugerie-Interstadial in the time frame 10 to 30 ka BP. Oxygen isotopes according to GISP 2.

The Laugerie Interstadial, which correlates with the Dansgaard-Oeschger event DO2 , immediately follows the ice advance of the Brandenburg phase or the last ice age maximum associated with the H2 . This is followed by another cooling phase ( Dolní Věstonice 3-4 ), which in turn is replaced by the Lascaux-Interstadial .

The Laugerie Interstadial falls into the marine isotope stage MIS 2 and correlates with the Greenland Interstadial GIS-2 .

In archeology , the Laugerie-Interstadial corresponds to the Solutréen ( Middle Solutréen and Upper Solutréen ).

Dating

The Laugerie-Interstadial can be traced back to the period 21,500 to 20,000 BC using the GISP 2 oxygen isotope curve. Be classified. Arlette Leroi-Gourhan (1988) places it between 19,700 and 18,500 radiocarbon years , which when calibrated (with CalPal) 21,611 to 20,157 BC. Corresponds to. Laville (1988) gives the period 20,000 to 18,800 radiocarbon years BP or calibrated 21,977 to 20,615 BC. Chr. Wolfgang Weißmüller recommends 20,100 to 18,200 radiocarbon years or 22,082 to 19,966 BC. Chr.

characterization

After the last ice age maximum, with the beginning of the Laugerie interstadial, there was a very rapid increase in the annual average temperatures , recognizable by a clear increase in the δ ¹⁸ O values by more than 4 ‰ from - 42.4 ‰ to - 38.2 SMOW . In the ice core from the Greenland ice, this corresponds to a warming of around 10 ° C. Globally, the air temperature increased by 5 ° C. After reaching this maximum, the values with two overlapping oscillations gradually fell again to - 41.4 ‰ SMOW, which corresponds to a renewed cooling of 7 ° C in the Greenland ice or 3 to 4 ° C globally.

Cultural development

During the Laugerie-Interstadial, the Solutréen reached its full expression with the levels Middle and Upper Solutréen. Towards the end of the Interstadial, the Badegoulien started with the Lower Badegoulien .
