WEST HESLERTON PARISH PROJECT, NORTH YORKSHIRE, SURVEY FOR SITES WITH POTENTIAL FOR POLLEN ANALYSIS.
Author(s): A T Evans
The region covered by the West Heslerton Parish Project was surveyed for sites that could be suitable for palaeoecological study, using the technique of pollen analysis. A number of such sites were visited; at each an investigation of the sediments present was carried out and any promising deposits were sampled. These samples were then returned to the laboratory where their pollen content was analysed. The North of the study area, in the lower parts of the River Derwent valley proved to offer the most potential for further investigation, while the South of the region, associated with the area of chalk, offers very little potential.
