Abstract
SUMMARY The gravel of the Easington Raised Beach rests on a bevelled platform of Magnesian Limestone at about 32m above O.D. at the head of Shippersea Bay, Easington. It appears to underlie glacial drifts of supposed late Devensian age and contains marine shells with a radiocarbon age exceeding 38,000 years. Calculations of amino acid ratios in molluscan shells from the deposit have shown that it can be ascribed to an inter-glacial high sea level event (Oxygen Isotope Stage 7) between the Hoxnian and the Ipswichian.
