Abstract:
The prehistoric (Iron Age), Roman and medieval environment of the Bourne Valley was examined via a study of dry-valley sediments, comprising a prehistoric lynchet overlooking the `floodplain', and sediments on the Bourne `floodplain' in Old Town. This research discovered an Iron Age site at the face of the lynchet, and investigated the area of the valley floor and the former Bourne Stream. Analytical investigations of magnetic susceptibility and archaeomagnetic dating were applied to examine their applicability to colluvial sediments and utilise any results they yielded. The research provided information on the environment and land use of early Eastbourne, and complements that from the South Downs and the results of the Eastbourne Urban Medieval Excavation Project.
