Abstract
    Relative sea-level (RSL) control on dune initiation during the Holocene is examined in the context of chronostratigraphies established from 43 vibracores through dunes and into sub-dune sediments taken from the Northumberland and Norfolk (UK) coasts. The chronology is based on 23 accelerated mass spectroscopy and conventional 14C dates, and 37 infra-red-stimulated luminescence dates. The oldest dunes in Northumberland are c. 4 cal. ka BP with phases of dune development at 2.8 and 1.5–1 ka BP. Most dune deposition is of last millennium age, with a concentration, especially in Norfolk, around 500–200 a BP. The initiation...
