Terrace reconstruction and long profile projection: a case study from the Solent river system near Southampton, England
No full textRiver terrace sequences are important frameworks for archaeological evidence and as
such it is important to produce robust correlations between what are often fragmentary
remnants of ancient terraces. This paper examines both conceptual and practical issues
related to such correlations, using a case study from the eastern part of the former Solent
River system near Southampton, England. In this region two recent terrace schemes
have been constructed using different data to describe the terrace deposits: one based
mainly on terrace surfaces; the other on gravel thicknesses, often not recording the
terrace surface itself. The utility of each of these types of data in terrace correlation is
discussed in relation to the complexity of the record, the probability of post-depositional
alteration of surface sediments and comparison of straight-line projections with modern
river long profiles. Correlation using age estimates is also discussed, in relation to
optically-stimulated luminescence dating of sand lenses within terrace gravels in this
region during the PASHCC project. It is concluded that the need for replication at single
sites means that this approach has limited use for correlative purposes, although dating
of sediments is important for understanding wider landscape evolution and patterns of
human occupation

Towards a budget approach to Pleistocene terraces: preliminary studies using the River Exe in South West England, UK
No full textThis paper presents a first approach to using a sediment budget methodology for paired terrace staircase sediments in SW England. Although a budget approach has become firmly established in Holocene fluvial studies, it has not been used in Pleistocene sequences due to the problems of temporal resolution, catchment changes and downstream loss from the system. However, this paper uses a budget approach in a paired non-glaciated basin, primarily as a method of interrogating the terrace record concerning the degree of reworking and new sediment input required to produce the reconstructed terrace sequences. In order to apply a budget approach a number of assumptions have to be made and these are justified in the paper. The results suggest that the Exe system can most parsimoniously be explained principally by the reworking of a Middle Pleistocene floodplain system with relatively little input of new resistant clasts required and a cascade-type model in geomorphological terms. Whilst this maybe partially a result of the specific geology of the catchment, it is likely to be representative of many Pleistocene terrace systems in NW Europe due to their litho-tectonic similarities. This cascade-type model of terrace formation has archaeological implications and sets the context for the Palaeolithic terrace record in the UK. Future work will involve the testing of this and similar budget models using a combination of landscape modelling and chronometric datin
