Mediterranean Basin, last glacial maximum (20 000-16 000 14C yrs. BP/23 600-18 900 cal. yrs. BP) : average global temperature 4.5°C lower than nowadays = Bassin méditerranéen, dernier maximum glaciaire (20 000-16 000 ans 14C BP/23 600-18 900 ans cal. BP) : température globale moyenne 4.5°C inférieure à l'actuelle

Mediterranean Basin, Holocene optimum (9 000-7 000 14C yrs. BP/10 000-8 000 cal. yrs. BP) : average global temperature 2°C higher than nowadays = Bassin méditerranéen, optimum holocène (9 000-7 000 ans 14C BP/10 000-8 000 ans cal. BP) : température globale moyenne 2°C supérieure à l'actuelle.
