Sixteen radiocarbon dates extending back to 70,000 years provide a chronology for the continuous continental pollen record of Grande Pile. This record reflects climatic changes over the last 140,000 years in northeastern France. The cold period initiating the Middle Weichselian, dated previously at 55,000 years, is dated at 70,000 years before the present (B.P.) at Grande Pile. This event is marked by the disappearance of deciduous forests at this site. The Early Weichselian is placed before 70,000 years B.P. A correlation with the oxygen isotope stages from oceanic records is demonstrated until 70,000 years B.P. and attempted beyond.
16 个放射性碳测年数据可追溯至 70000 年前，为 Grande Pile 的连续大陆花粉记录提供了一个年代序列。该记录反映了过去 140000 年来法国东北部的气候变化。此前在 55000 年前确定的中更新世起始的寒冷时期，在 Grande Pile 的年代可追溯至距今 70000 年前。这一事件的标志是该地点落叶林的消失。早更新世被置于 70000 年前 B.P. 之前。直到 70000 年前 B.P.，并尝试进一步延伸，与海洋记录中的氧同位素阶段进行了相关性证明。
