Abstract: |
The submerged forest, visible at low tide on the beach at Porlock Bay, has been the subject of much interest due to the recent breaching of the shingle bank and consequent changing course of a fast-flowing stream. Excavations have also been carried out at the nearby site of an aurochs skeleton, buried in a palaeochannel, and exposed due to erosion. Surveys of the submerged forest were carried out in 1991 and 1998. A further survey in 2001 located the sites of dendrochronological sampling. |
