Abstract
Diatom study of two 14C-dated cores from lake Tigalmamine shows a step-wise re-establishment of wet and warm conditions during the Late Glacial, at c9.5 and at c7.5 ka BP. Abrupt regressive events are recorded at c10.4, c8-7 and c4.5 ka BP. Their causes have to be sought at the scale of the African Continent, or even at a global scale. There is an abridged English version. -English summary
