Chronological Review of the Dainohara Terrace in the Sendai Area, Northeastern Japan

摘要

The geomorphic chronology of the Late Pleistocene age in the Sendai area remains un- clear, although the Dainohara terrace was assigned to the last interglacial stage on the basis of topographic, geologic, and palynologic features. This paper reviews tephrochronol- ogical and paleopedological data and discuss- es the chronology of the Late Pleistocene ter- races, with special reference to the Daino- hara terrace.
