Abstract:		 Geomorphological and palynological investigations have been undertaken of the floodplain and alluvial fill sediments of the rivers Ouse and Cuckmere, East Sussex. Results are presented from one of the sites studied, at Sharpsbridge near Newick, elucidating the nature and probable age of these deposits. It appears that valley alluviation in this area has been largely in response to anthropogenic valley side forest clearance dating back to the Mesolithic. It is of interest to note that the bulk of valley sedimentation in this part of the upper Sussex Ouse was completed by the close of the late Bronze-early Iron Age, despite later periods of forest clearance during Romano-British and Medieval times in association with the Wealden iron industry.
