Abstract:		 Presently available Holocene relative sea-level curves for the Severn Estuary and Somerset Levels are inadequate as they are not based on sea-level index points (SL!Ps) for which age, altitude, indicative meaning, and tendency are known. The Quaternary Research Unit at Bath Spa University College is currently engaged in establishing sea-level index points in the Severn Estuary and Somerset levels in order to reconstruct a detailed Holocene relative sea-level history of the area. Assigning an indicative meaning to a SLIP requires biostratigraphic (eg foraminifera) analysis calibrated with reference to the modern environment. Here we report the first survey results of modern foraminiferal distribution in the Severn Estuary, demonstrating that certain species are restricted to particular levels within the tidal frame, and thus have great potential for establishing indicative meanings in local sealevel studies.
