Popis:	The Lithuanian Maritime Region of the Baltic Sea is notable for widely spread sandy sediments of different stages of Baltic Sea development — from post-glacial (Late Weichselian) to recently settled marine sediments. The OSL dating of about 70 sandy sediments was performed during the large-scale (1 : 50 000) geological mapping of this region. For some boreholes radiocarbon ( 14 C ) dating and palaeobotanical studies were also carried out. A good agreement of the OSL ages with 14 C dating results and palaeobotanical data has been revealed for marine, lacustrine and aeolian sediments. The overestimation of OSL ages for Baltic Ice Lake sediments is caused by a very rapid sedimentation and the resultant insufficient bleaching.
