TLDR
In this paper, the authors used 14C dates and amino acid racemization estimated (AARE) ages, borehole records and stratigraphic sections, shallow seismic profiles, and biostratigraphic analyses obtained since publication of summaries by Schafer and Hartshorn (1965), Muller (1965, and Pratt and Schlee (1969).About:

Regional beryllium-10 production rate calibration for late-glacial northeastern
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a calibration data set to reconcile exposure ages and radiocarbon deglaciation chronologies for northeastern North America by compiling 10 Be production rate calibration measurements from independently dated lateglacial and early Holocene ice-marginal landforms in this region.

Paleoenvironmental Change in Central Texas: The Palynological Evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, analysis of pollen spectra from Boriack and Weakly bogs provides a 16,000-year sequence for central Texas, showing that numerous shifts between fores...

Drainage of late Wisconsin glacial lakes and the morphology and late quaternary stratigraphy of the New Jersey–southern New England continental shelf and slope
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that late Wisconsin deposition and erosion on the shelf and slope from New Jersey to southern New England were a consequence of the catastrophic drainage of glacial lakes behind terminal moraine systems and the huge volume of water stored beneath the Laurentian ice sheet and subsequent erosion of the lake sediments by flash floods.

Late Quaternary Sea-Level Change and Crustal Rise at Boston, Massachusetts, with Notes on the Autocompaction of Peat
TL;DR: In this paper, the compression of peat beneath its own weight (autocompaction) is discussed, and it is shown that because of this process radiocarbondated samples of salt-marsh peat or peaty sediment, other than very thin samples cut from the base of the deposit, cannot be correlated with sea level without construction of a sea-level change curve from other types of data.

Sediment focusing in Mirror Lake, New Hampshire1
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of multiple sediment cores from Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, dated by 14C and pollen, showed that between 14,000 and 11,000 B.P. silts and sands were deposited over 85% of the basin.

Holocene Climate of New England
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied six sites at different elevations in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and demonstrated changes in the distributions of four coniferous tree species during the Holocene.

Pollen Accumulation Rates: Estimates from Late-Glacial Sediment of Rogers Lake
TL;DR: A major increase in the deposition of tree pollen occurred about 11,500 years ago, at the beginning of the spruce pollen zone, and presentation of data in conventional form masks the magnitude of this change and distorts many of the changes in accumulation rates for individual types of pollen.

North American glacial history extended to 75,000 years ago
TL;DR: By concentrating carbon-14 through thermal diffusion, it is possible to extend the range of carbon- 14 dating to 75,000 years ago, and a reliable chronology appears possible.
