Clayey water electric conductivity, foraminifera analysis, and grain-size analysis of the DLK01 borehole in a shrimp pond in the south of Changxing Island, Liaodong Peninsula, were conducted. Combined with accelerator mass spectrometry ¹⁴C, the DLK01 core was divided into six sedimentary units from bottom to top: unit I, continental flooding deposit; unit II, storm surge or high tide deposit, formed earlier than 8352 cal BP; unit III, intertidal zone deposit, formed at 8352 cal BP and representing the Holocene transgression that changed from continental facies to marine–continental transitional facies; unit IV, shallow sea deposit, formed in 7738 cal BP and representing the rise of the sea surface in the Holocene; unit V, intertidal zone deposit, unconformably contacted with unit IV, indicating that the marine–continental transitional facies deposit was formed by the drop of seawater; and unit VI, salt marsh deposit to intertidal zone deposit, formed as the sea level dropped farther since 1340 cal BP.
