Reconstruction of the relative level of the white sea during the lateglacial - holocene according to lithological, diatom analyses and radiocarbon dating of small lakes bottom sediments in the area of the Chupa settlement (North Karelia, Russia)

New lithological, palinological and chronological data received as a result of studying the bottom sediment of small lake depressions for the area of the Chupa settlement situated on the Karelian Coast of the White Sea have been presented. Complex studying of bottom deposits of lakes located on different elevation have allowed to establish time and features of their sedimentation and to construct the relative sea-level curve for the Lateglacial and Holocene for the Chupa area.
