“…This initial barrier is believed to have migrated onshore as a swash-aligned barrier with rapidly rising sea-Ievel during the early Holocene (Long et al, 1996), until it reached the e1iffline in the west, probably at Fairlight (Eddison, 1983). It appears from the initiation of peat forming commw1ities in the back-banier environment that the protective grave!…”

AbstraetIn this paper, we present the results of bivariate plols of grain size parameters (mean againsl sorting) in the reconstruc¡ion of Holocene envíronmental change in coastal envíronmenls where barrier Fonnalion has had an important control on sedimentatíon. Sites on the North Atlantic coast with differing histories of climate, sediment flux, sea-Ievel change and barrier integrity are invesligaled lO delennine the general efficacy 01' this bivariate parameler model in dislinguishing between openand closed-basin conditions, and in reviewing lhe signillcance 01' aperiodic high-energy geomorphic events in controlling late slage back-barrier sedimenlalion.

“…1). A suite of sub-, interand supra-tidal minerogenic and organic sediments accumulated in the lee of the gravel barrier through the Holocene driven by a combination of rising sea-level, barrier development and reorganisation, storminess and human intervention (Green 1968;Eddison 1983Eddison , 1998Long and Innes 1995;Spencer et al 1998;Plater et al 1999;Waller et al 1999;Stupples 2002b). Sample cores were collected across the Rye Bay, Romney Marsh and Dungeness field areas to investigate their depositional and landscape histories during the lateHolocene, primarily as a function of coastal morphology, relative sea-level rise, storm magnitude/frequency and sediment flux.…”

A hierarchical series of tidal periodicities are preserved within laminated tidal flat deposits at the barrier/back-barrier interface of Romney Marsh and the Dungeness Foreland in southeast England. The sedimentary record of the tidal signature, extracted from variations in sand layer thickness, was found to be severely truncated with neap-spring periods typically represented by five or less sand layers and possibly only alternate neap-spring periods present. Despite the low number of sand layers deposited in these higher frequency tidal cycles, semi-annual periods are clearly preserved but tend to contain less than the expected 6 months of sedimentation. Annual accumulation rates of around 0.2-0.3 m/year are indicated. Local emplacement of storm beaches is considered to have created the protected conditions suitable for tidal rhythmite preservation. Ongoing foreland progradation and infilling eventually restricted tidal inundation to the point where distinct sand laminae were no longer deposited. Here, in contrast with other systems, accommodation space was not limiting and tidal flat elevation is reflected as a more subtle control on spatial changes in the resolution of the tidal signal.

“…Eddison (1983) employed gravel ridge altitude in combination with the established trend in relative sea-level for the Thames (Devoy, 1979) to assign ages to different periods of gravel deposition, e.g. the formation of low-level sand and gravel at −1 m to +2 m OD dating from 5500-4000 cal yr BP.…”
