Abstract. The article presents the results of field work in 2022 in the area of the White Sea Biological Station of Moscow State University and on Veliky Island and the primary data of laboratory processing (diatom analysis) of samples of limno-palustrian and modern marine sediments. The material for radiocarbon dating was re-selected. It is necessary to correct previously obtained data on the age of sediments near the lake Maloe Yeremeyevskoe. 59 samples were taken for diatom analysis (20 of them limno-palustrian, 39 – marine (18 of them – modern beach sand). Diatom analysis will allow us to establish similarities and differences in environmental conditions on different parts of the Great Salma Strait coasts.
