  abstract = {{C}limatic changes during the last climatic cycle have been studied using three sediment cores from the {K}onya plain, a now dry, closed and semi-arid lacustrine basin at 1000 m altitude in central {A}natolia, {T}urkey. {T}he reconstruction of regional climatic characteristics and evolution is based on mineral, diatom, pollen and molluscan content of sediments. {C}orrelations are made between cores using 14{C} and {U}-{T}h ages, stratigraphy and drought levels shown by changes in mineral contents. {E}nvironmental responses to local and regional climatic changes are traced by trends in authigenic carbonates, evaporites, detrital mineral content and by diatom-inferred salinity levels. {O}ur data have shown that, during the period covering the end of the previous {G}lacial ({T}ermination {II})and the last {I}nterglacial (between c. 150 and 117 ka), peat and freshwater shallow lakes expanded. {F}rom 117 to 66 ka, the plain was occupied by lakes, the salinity and existence of which varied in time and space. {S}pecific events are marked by mineralogic and stratigraphic signals at (i) c. 101 ka and (ii) 66 ka. {F}rom 66 ka to 30 ka, desiccation of the lake is marked by a hiatus. {A}t c. 27 ka, milder climtic conditions led to the extension of freshwater marshes and lakes in the central depressions while palaeosols developed on the emerged parts of the plain. {F}rom 25 to 20.5 ka 14{C} cal., the sediments of a freshwater to brackish lake are present in one core only. {F}rom 20.5 14{C} cal. onwards, strong evaporitic conditions occurred, the lake edges being transformed into playas. {U}pper parts of the sequences registered other lacustrine short phases, both before the {Y}ounger {D}ryas and during the {H}olocene.
