The paper presents the results of geomorphological studies and pollen analysis performed for alluvial deposits at 2 sites situated in the Wisłok River valley. The deposits consist of thin layers of organic muds filling palaeochannels or thermo-karst lakes of the Wisłok River, dated at the Interpleniglacial (Grudziądz Interstadial) of the Vistulian Glaciation. These deposits build the lower part of a sand terrace, 8-12 m high, and outliers of this terrace buried by overbank alluvial sediments within a floodplain. The samples for pollen analysis were taken from a natural undercut in the Wisłok River channel and from a sand pit dug to a greater depth. The pollen diagrams prove the existence of trees (forest-steppe) including primarily Pinus sylvestris, Betula t. alba, Pinus cembra and Larix. The diagrams do not show a clear tendency of a plant succession and thus of any distinct climate changes. The sedimentation took place under cool, boreal climate conditions. The occurrence of several layers of organic and sand deposits in the sections does not reflect rhythmic warm/cold climatic oscillations documented in the Interpleniglacial alluvial sequences in Western European rivers, but is a result of vertical channel fluctuations and facies changes.

This paper presents results of absolute dating of alluvial sedimentary series forming a rendzina terrace (higher floodplain) 7-8 m high above the Wisłok River channel and a sandy terrace 8-10 m high in the Subcarpathian Pradolina section of the Wisłok River valley. The organic mud infilling fossil depressions (palaeochannels?) in the lower part of the rendzina terrace have been dated by the radiocarbon method to more than 38,500 BP. The organic series occurring within the sandy terrace yielded three ages >36,000 BP. Results of palynological analyses carried out on both sites indicate tundra or forest-tundra environments with water-filled depressions at the time of organic sediments deposition. The top of the 8-10 m high sandy terrace is built of fluvial sands and eolian cover sands with dunes in the upper-most part. Their age has been established by means of the OSL method to 11.2š0.9 ka BP. The younger alluvial inset fill is formed of sands and silts with involutions occurring under Holocene muds. They were deposited by a braided river during the Upper Plenivistulian as indicated by two other OSL dates of 22.2š2.2 ka BP and 14.0š1.5 ka BP. Within the rendzina terrace the youngest series of Vistulian age is built with peats and silts, infilling the wide depression at the foots of sandy hillocks, dated to about 11,800 BP.
