Inger does not say anything that I can find about the ocean in
general, but she writes (p. 11) that the sea level in the Baltic
around 7700 BC was 84-85 m higher than today. There's no
footnote number after that statement, so I don't know which of
the previously cited sources it comes from.

That are a lot of meters. See e.g Fig. 3 for the
relative sealevel in: Shi-Yong Yu (2003)
"The Littorina transgression in southeastern Sweden
and its relation to mid-Holocene climate variability"
http://www.geol.lu.se/kvg/avhandlingar/sy_kappa.pdf
[28pp, 485kp]
(Yu is a former student of Björn Berglund at Lund)

BTW, When talking about relative sealevel in southern
Sweden, as Inger does in her essay, you are not allowed
to project that to the Balthic as a whole.
