Abstract: |
The stratigraphic sequence exposed within the 4 evaluation trenches excavated through the modern day course of the Channelsea Gorge illustrated that only within the south of the gorge was there active Early Holocene channels that laid down alluvial sediments comparable to those found within Trenches PDZ6.07, PDZ6.08, PDZ6.09 and PDZ6.48 to the west. In the north of the Gorge an untruncated gravel surface is overlain by part natutral, part man made deposits. The evaluation has also revealed that as shown within cartographic sources for the area a widened Channelsea river channel and associated revetting within the north of the gorge was constructed at the end of the 19th century or beginning of the 20th century. |
