Two interchanging gyttja-peat sequences were investigated in the basal parts of the Pitkasoo Bog, Saaremaa Island, Estonia.These are interpreted to represent ingressions or ground water rises around 9800 + 80 BP, depending on water level changes in the Yoldia Sea.An early part of the Ancylus transgression, which occurs earlier than the immigration of Alnus to Saaremaa, was also distinguished.The Pitkasoo sequences offer interesting possibilities for the study of the early stages of the Yoldia succession.
