Talk:Pollen zone

Outdated
The sentence "Dates, given in years BC, are best viewed as being based on uncalibrated C-14 dates, which, when calibrated, would result in much earlier BC dates. For example, an Older Dryas start date of 10,000 BC translates roughly into an uncalibrated BP date of 12,000. Calibrated, that becomes 14,000 BP, 12,000 BC. To obtain quick, on-line calibrations, you may use CalPal." - is cruel nonsense. Obviously the writer did not understand what he wrote. Moreover, the once wonderful CalPal is both outdated, and no longer working under the newest Windows 10 update. 95.90.202.156 (talk) 13:23, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Nonsense
Because the Pollen zones are based upon the vegetation, changing from year to year after the end of the last glaciation from south to north, the times belonging to similar diescriptions of a zone differ by over 1000 years between the geographical areas and thus, CANNOT be used to correlate according times! Moreover, the writer of the table failed to ad the source of his zones, unaware of the existence of several versions that are partly even described in the text! A pity! 95.90.202.156 (talk) 13:32, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
