Devensian
Devensian The last glacial stage in Britain (named after a Celtic tribe, the Devense), which lasted from around 70 000 years
bp (possibly earlier) to about 10 000 years
bp. It is approximately synchronous with the
Wisconsinian Stage in North America, the Weichselian Glaciation in northern Europe, and the Würm Glaciation in the Alps. The Devensian was preceded by the
Ipswichian interglacial, and followed by the
Flandrian (i.e. present) interglacial. The Devensian was unusual because of the high rate of megafaunal extinction with which it ended; these extinctions are sometimes attributed to human activities, but the matter is controversial. See also
