Abstract

Excavation of a 10-meter column of surface-derived matrix from Sinkhole No. 4 at New Paris, Bedford County, Pennsylvania produced a late Pleistocene biota: over 2,700 vertebrates, with an accompanying pollen profile. C-14 date is approximately 11,300 BP. The indicated environment is cool taiga parkland during the early phase of infill with progressive reforestation during a subsequent warming (but still boreal) period.
