(A) Location of the study site in relation to extents of ice sheets, (B) Location on the geological background (according to SMGP 1:50,000). Holocene: 1 – fluvial sand and mud; Vistulian: 2 – mineral-organic mud, 3 – deluvial sand and mud, 4 – fluvial sands; Warta Stadial: 5 – glaciofluvial sand, 6 – glaciofluvial sand and gravel, 7 – glacial sand with gravel, 8 – sand, gravel and boulder (morainic), 9 – glacial till; 10 – study site.

Orthophotomap view of the Vistulian deposits sequence in sections I-V (their location is marked on topographic sketch below) with distinguished lithofacies (Table 2) and sampling sites for luminescence dating (Table 3).

Lithostratigraphical scheme of the Vistulian deposits at the Józefów site with OSL age results in relationship to the Vistulian climatostratigraphy. OSL, optically stimulated luminescence.
