Abstract
Investigations at Pett Level have recorded a complex stratigraphic sequence of intercalated peats and clayey-silts. Peat development was asynchronous with marine incursions the result of localised flooding of the offshore shingle barrier. The remains of the ‘submerged forest’ do not represent the remains of a single contemporary woodland but are a palimpsest of trees that grew over a period of c1500 years.
