The paper presents the succession of Sanian Glaciation sediments recognized in the Swiętoszówka site, Southern part of the Silesian Foothills (Bielsko division). The following deposits were found: a unit ofgravels deposi- ted in a system offoremountain alluvialfans, a unit of silts deposited in a glaciomarginal dammed lake, and a glacial till. Glaciogenic deposits are covered with loess-like deposits. The development of the glaciomarginal zone was influ- enced mainly by the pattern ofbasement relief. In the northern part of the foothill, in the northward-oriented valleys, glacially dammed lakes were mainlyformed. During transgression, waterfrom these reservoirs was pushed in front of the ice-sheet margin towards the southern part of the low-relieffoothill. The individual lakes probably merged there into one larger glaciomarginal lake. It was characterized by low-energy conditions and deposition mainly from suspension. Sedimentation style in the lake changed over time and was dependent on the size and shape of the lake and its position in relation to the ice-sheet margin, which determined thewidth and distribution ofzones of sediment supply and the dynamics ofdepositional processes in the lake.

A sedimentary succession in a gravel pit at Niedźwiedziny was investigated in order to determine its origin: kame or moraine. The gravel pit is located in an isolated hill of approx. 600 m long and 250–400 m wide. The succession is built of glaciofluvial deposits: a sandy/gravelly unit in the lower and middle parts, overlain by diamicton. Five lithofacies have been distinguished, which represent two facies associations: (1) a fluvial association evolving from a high-energy to a transitional to a shallow braided river on an alluvial fan, and (2) an association of cohesive deposits representing a glacigenic mass flow. The interpretation is based mainly on palaeocurrent data and differs from conclusions by earlier investigators. The ice-marginal zone is characterised by a large variety of glaciomarginal forms. Their sedimentology, morphology and palaeogeography are determined by successive phases of deglaciation. The results of the present study show that the character of the deglaciation in the study area changed with time from frontal to areal deglaciation.
