Abstract:		 This is the second interim report on a project investigating the ecology of coastal environments and the interplay between natural factors and human agency in the period c. 6500-3500 Cal BC. Work during 2002 concentrated on survey and excavation of later Mesolithic sites at Goldcliff East which are intertidal and were successively inundated by Holocene sea-level rise. Occupation horizons contained lithics, bones, including those of fish, and preserved organic environmental evidence. The survey area includes submerged forests of Mesolithic date, and extensive spreads of charcoal with evidence that trees and reeds were burnt. Human and animal footprint-tracks of Mesolithic date have also been recorded. The report also includes evidence of tree orientation in the submerged forest and analysis of foraminifera assemblages from a probable last glacial beach that underlies the Mesolithic occupation horizon.
