A group of deposits representing a geostratigraphic stage within the Holocene series of the British Quaternary system system covering the period 10 000 years ago down to the present day. The Flandrian represents the period following the Devensian Stage stage at the end of the Pleistocene, and as such could be seen simply as the latest in a succession of interglacial warm periods. The Flandrian embraces pollen zone through to IX as set out by Harry Godwin in 1940, and the climatic phases from the Pre-Boreal Phase through to the Sub-Atlantic Phase.
