Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The results of the investigations confirm the broad stratigraphic scheme identified in earlier investigations of the Sandwich/Stonar/Ebbsfleet area associated with the Wantsum Channel. Within the Biomass site, well-bedded fine-grained alluvial sediments are present overlying the sloping flanks of a gravel (marine shingle) ridge representing part of the northward extent of the so-called Stonar Shingle. Sand sub-units within the gravel body are few in number and mainly thin, and in the present investigation the integrity of some of these thinner beds may have been compromised due to the flushing effect of the large volumes of water used to enable the drilling process and recovery of sediment. Undisturbed sediment was recovered however from a thick (3.0m) body of sand in the lower part of borehole QBH1. The results of radiocarbon dating suggest that the middle-upper part of Unit 3 accumulated from no later than the late Bronze Age, and that open water was present in the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age on both the seaward and landward sides of the Stonar Bank with water depths of at least 6.0-9.0m and shingle movement at these depths actively shaping the shingle accumulation at that time. In addition, accumulation of the fine-grained alluvium on the landward side of the Stonar Bank commenced during the early medieval period. On the seaward side of the Stonar Bank intertidal marine conditions were still present during the late to post medieval period.
