The updated proposed Late Glacial and Holocene stratigraphical scheme for Lithuania is characterized. It is better supported by factual data than the former schemes of the author compiled in 1976, 1990, 1993 and 1998. The main stratigraphical units distinguished in the proposed stratigraphical scheme according to pollen data are chronozones. The names of the chronozones reflecting climate and vegetation changes during the Late Glacial and Holocene have been chosen according to the names of climatic periods proposed by A. Blytt and R. Sernander in the 19th century. These names have been used in Lithuania for a long time. Diatom zones are singled out in lake deposits. These regional diatom zones are described according to their characteristic ecological groups of diatoms reflecting variations in ecological conditions, non-diatom species which can at the same time differ due to specific conditions. The ecological diatom groups, under similar environmental conditions, are the same in different lakes. Five chronozones and three diatom zones have been distinguished in the Late Glacial deposits, nine chronozones and five diatom zones have been marked out in the Holocene strata.
