Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the author argues that integrating Pleistocene sediments from continental systems and the marine stratigraphic record is a key objective for Quaternary science, correlation of these records in many cases only being possible through comparison of proxy records. This objective may be realised in those areas of the world where marine marginal sediments occur in close proximity to terrestrial fluvial deposits in the lower reaches of major river valleys. One such location is the Sussex/Hampshire corridor. Pleistocene sediments within the area of the former Solent River system and the West Sussex coastal plain are evidence for a wide variety of different depositional systems ranging from temperate floodplains and marine beaches to cold climate braided river channels. These deposits may contain archaeological material such as handaxes as well as faunal and floral remains. The proximity of sediments of both temperate and cold climate types within the lower reaches of the modern major river valleys should allow correlation between the temperate and cold climate stratigraphic records in this area. This evidence may be used to link the marine and fluvial stratigraphic records. The paper describes the nature of the different types of evidence from the Sussex/Hampshire corridor and considers some of the problems and pitfalls in the use of this information in the construction of an integrated stratigraphic framework for the area | ||||||
