Abstract:		 A floodplain section of the upper Cuckmere valley near Stream Farm has been investigated. The litho-stratigraphy and bio-stratigraphy of a 6.6-metre fill sequence is described and the Holocene palaeoenvironmental conditions in the fossil record are briefly outlined. It is evident that the alluvium has accumulated largely in response to the impact of prehistoric man on the former vegetation cover, particularly during the Neolithic and Bronze Age. There is little evidence of more recent episodes of alluviation, suggesting the contemporary floodplain is a relic land/form. A tentative archaeological model is presented of the apparent environmental impact of prehistoric man in Sussex as regards valley alluviation.
