ENVIRONMENTAL WORK IN THE HULL SURVEY PROJECT (1985 SEASON)
Author(s): P Murphy
Examination of sections exposed at the edge of the salt marsh and on the foreshore along the south bank of the Blackwater in 1984 showed that the sequence is relatively straightforward, consisting predominantly of grey clays overlying a thin peat on head. Foreshore exposures of the lower sediments were however found to be of little value for palaeoecological studies due to disturbance and reworking by burrowing organisms. In 1985 the Holocene sediments at two sites were examined in greater detail and sections exposed at some other sites were also recorded.
