Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned to undertake a programme of geoarchaeological mapping on land at Park View, The Street, Sedlescombe, East Sussex. The work was undertaken in order to map the extent of alluvial deposits, including peat layers, which had previously been identified in evaluation trenches excavated by Wessex Archaeology. The geometry of the underlying bedrock surface and the alignment of surviving peat along a north-south axis suggests that the alluvial sedimentation relates broadly to a feeder channel (the Sedlescombe Stream) of the main River Brede. However, one core (WS10) showed a slightly deeper and more complex sedimentary picture, including organic gravels deposits, a confluence sedimentary environment Both peat and organic alluvium deposits mapped at the site have excellent potential for palaeoenvironmental remains and could be subjected to systematic assessment and dating. Even if high energy environments seen at the base of each sequence, equate with the removal of early Holocene sedimentation, equivalent sequences in other East Sussex river valleys have shown excellent preservation of Late Prehistoric peat deposits. The localised nature of the channel suggests some specific palaeoenvironmental reconstruction work, relating directly to the valley catchment of Sedlescombe, could be undertaken at the site; a meaningful local sequence to set alongside the wider landscape sequence of the Brede Valley.
