“…Important sites with radiocarbon-dated Coleoptera faunas have been described from the UK, for example, at Barnwell Station, Cambridge (Coope, 1968b), Dimlington (Penny et al, 1969;Rose, 1985), Glanllynnau (Coope and Brophy, 1972) and Colnbrook, West London (Coope, 1982). At Ramsel, Belgium a coleopteran assemblage with many obligate cold adapted species has a radiocarbon date of 17 000 yr BP (Gullentops and Coope, unpublished).…”

“…The stratigraphical position of these sediments is constrained by the relationship of the Late Devensian Holkham Till which overlies a Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) raised beach at Morston (Gale et al, 1988), and radiocarbon dates on the sediments of Glacial Lake Sparks, dammed by an ice-lobe situated in The Wash at c. 22 cal ka BP (West et al 1999). The Holkham Till is also ascribed to the Late Devensian on the basis of a correlation with the Skipsea Till of Holderness (Madgett and Catt 1978), which was deposited after 18.5 14 C years BP (Penny et al 1969). The samples obtained in this study were taken from the Ringstead valley (TF 725405) which is infilled with till and glaciofluvial sediments, including an esker ridge and a meltwater channel that forms a drainage exit to the valley.…”

The lowland region of north Norfolk contains some of the best preserved evidence for glacial deposition during the Middle Pleistocene in northwest Europe.Despite the importance of these deposits, there is limited chronological control and it is debated whether they belong to a single glaciation, equated to the Anglian glaciation (Marine Isotope Stage 12), or represent deposition over a number of Middle Pleistocene cold stages. In order to develop an improved chronology for glaciation in this region, we obtained 18 samples for optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating from glacial outwash facies. Samples of coarse-grained quartz sand were measured using the SAR (single aliquot regenerative-dose) protocol. The low radioactive isotope concentrations in sediments of this region enable the traditionally accepted age limit of luminescence dating to be extended. The form of the dose response curves, pre-heat plateaux tests, and dose recovery experiments also indicate that laboratory doses can be reliably measured in these samples. Age overestimation due to partial bleaching is thought to be insignificant. The OSL ages suggest that the glacial sediments studied were deposited during MIS 12 rather than in different post MIS 12 stages.

“…Davies et al, 2009Davies et al, , 2011Roberts et al, 2013). The Skipsea Till at Holderness records the initial southern extension of the North Sea Lobe during the Late Devensian which can be constrained to 21.7-16.2 ka based upon radiocarbon and OSL dating of immediately underlying and overlying deposits (Penny et al, 1969;Bateman et al, 2011). This is further corroborated by high-level lake deposits from palaeo-glacial Lake Humber with an OSL age of 16.6 ± 1.2 ka (Bateman et al, 2008).…”

The ice flow path and dynamic behaviour of the British-Irish Ice Sheet has been subject to renewed interest and controversy in recent years. Early studies in eastern England argued for interaction with Fennoscandian ice onshore in Britain, instigating re-examination of the sedimentology and provenance of many Pleistocene till successions. These studies instead supported an exclusively British provenance, and are used to predict southward advance of a broadly coast parallel North Sea Lobe. Quantitative lithological and palynological analysis of the Pleistocene till succession in Holderness, East Yorkshire, however, remains to be carried out. We examined the lithologically diverse Skipsea Till in order to reconstruct ice flow pathways to the Holderness coast during the Pleistocene, thereby constraining which areas of substrate were subglacially eroded and entrained prior to deposition. The till yields a diverse range of soft, low-durability and uniquely British allochthonous material, including Permian Magnesian Limestone, Carboniferous limestone and coal, and Carboniferous pollen and spore assemblages that would be unlikely to survive polyphase reworking. Ice extended southwards through southern Scotland, incorporating material in north ease England, northern Yorkshire and the western margin of the North Sea Basin (NSB), supporting a recurrent ice flow
