Abstract

This paper contains lithostratigraphic and chronometric (radiocarbon dating) data on one of the regions on the Karelian coast of the White Sea obtained in the course of investigation of sedimentary sections from recent lake basins, which were separated at different times from the sea due to uplift of the glacioisostatic crust of the Earth. They were used as a basis for stratigraphic subdivision of marine and fresh water sediments and for reconstruction of the White Sea coast level change during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene near the Settlement of Kuzema, Karelia.
