“…Considerable local altitudinal variation in the top and base of spatially extensive intercalated peat beds as a result of factors such as thickness of the overlying and underlying Holocene deposits, and subjacent lithological variability, have been documented in cross-sections. For example, from the area where many of Behre's data points originate, Streif (1972), Barckhausen & Streif (1978), Preuss (1979) and Freund et al (2004) report variations in the elevation of a peat bed of between 2 and 5 m. Variations of this magnitude have been documented elsewhere by Waller (1994), de Groot & de Gans (1996, Bertrand & Baeteman (2005), Long et al (2006) and T¨ornqvist et al (2008). Estimates of compaction by Behre (2007) seem far too low (e.g.…”

“…Problems of dating sea-level index points from a single sequence are not uncommon (e.g. Churchill, 1970;Streif, 1972;Kidson and Heyworth, 1979;Tooley, 1978a) and individual dates must be discussed as they affect any conclusions. At the scale of the whole study the limitations of the radiocarbon method itself must be kept in mind (International Study Group, 1982).…”

Shennan, I. 1986 Flandrian sea-level changes In the Fenland II: Tendencifs of sea-level movement, altitiidina c hanges, and local and regional factors. loonid/ ol Quaternary Science, Vol. 1, pp. 155-1 79. ISSN 0267-81 79 ABSTRACT: Stratigraphic, micropalaeontologic and radiocarbon data show that since c. 6500 BP the Fenland has been influenced by 7 periods of positive sea-level tendencies and by 6 periods of negative sea-level tendencies. Despite the numerous problems associated with the reconstruction of past altitudes of sea level the periods of positive sea-level tendencies were clearly characterised by a rise in sea level, the development of transgressive overlaps and a landward movement of the coastline. The periods of negative sea-level tendencies were characterised by the development of regressive overlaps, a seaward movement of the coastline and a reduced or negative rate of sea-level rise. The various altitudinal errors do not permit the incontrovertible distinction of periods of falling sea levels. All changes within the Fenland were not synchronous and local factors influenced theexact nature of each sea-level indicator. Dominant regional and local factors have been identified for different areas and different time periods. The chronological and spatial characteristics of the sequences within the Fenland are bestexplained by a palaeocoastline without supratidal barriers controlling sedimentation.The data indicate an average crustal subsidence in the Fenland of 0.9 m/l 000 years since c. 6500 BP and the pattern of positive and negative tendencies of sea-level movement is also seen in the chronologies for north west England and north east Scotland.

“…Late Holocene peat layers intercalated with tidal-flat deposits are widespread in northwestern Europe (Jelgersma, 1961;Streif, 1972;Devoy, 1979) and the eastern United States (Johnson, 1925, his Figure 259B; van de Plassche, 1991;Varekamp and others, 1992;others, 1993a, 1993b). As at Willapa Bay, peat layers locally form soils of submerged forests (Reid, 1913, p. 6-8).…”
