A synthesis of the interpreted vegetational and climatic history of Nova Scotia during the Wisconsinan Late‐glacial period (14‐9 ka BP) is presented and described in 500‐year intervals. The concomitant regional deglaciation history of the region is also described. A synthesis chart is provided which includes a qualitative curve of temperature reconstructions for the Lateglacial period.
