Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The floodplain and valley fill deposits of the eastern Rother valley have been investigated by augering into the alluvium. The lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy of the deposits are described and their palaeo-environmental significance evaluated. It appears that the inorganic component of these sediments has accumulated as a result of the impact of prehistoric cultures within the valley since at least the Neolithic period. The results demonstrate that this environmental impact was not site-specific but was widespread and at an apparently unprecedented scale. It is evident that the eastern High Weald was not therefore avoided by prehistoric man but was exploited in a manner hitherto largely unrecognized. | ||||||||
