Lake Ohrid (Albania/FYROM) is the oldest continuously existing lake in Europe. It is located in a graben formed during the last phases of Alpine orogenesis the north-eastern Mediterranean region at 693 m a.s.l. It is included in the UNESCO “World Heritage Site” list since 1979 and represents an important hotspot of biodiversity, as it hosts over two hundred endemic species.
In this article, we present new, high-resolution, pollen results obtained from the DEEP site sequence recovered from Lake Ohrid (Albania/FYROM) for the Last Interglacial Complex (LIC), corresponding to Marine Isotope Stage 5 (MIS 5) of the marine isotope stratigraphy. LIC covers the period between 130 and 70 ka and includes the Eemian (Last Interglacial, LI) and the succession of stadial and interstadial phases of the Early Last Glacial.
