Abstract
The stratigraphy of the mid-Holocene submerged forest in the Dovey estuary area, central Wales (dated at 6000-4700 radiocarbon years) is re-interpreted following a reassessment of previous investigations and an evaluation of new evidence from tree macro-remains and pollen. It is contendend that increased sedimentation rates induced by rapidly evolving coastal geomorphology, as opposed to a fall of mean sea-level,provide a simpler explanation for the “regression” sequence manifested by the forest beds.
