| Abstract | Holocene sediments of the north Norfolk coast (NNC) between Weybourne and Hunstanton have been studied using geophysical, sedimentological, biofacial and dating techniques. New cores and refraction seismic data have defined the topography of the pre-Holocene surface and show that the NNC sediment prism is underlain by an east–west trending Quaternary trough, probably a palaeo-river-valley. The age of the Holocene fill has been dated using radiocarbon and luminescence dates, while sedimentation rates were constrained by, and compared with, modern rates using radionuclide data. The Holocene sediments are divided into a sandy-barrier lithofacies association (LFA), and a muddysilty peat back-barrier LFA.... |
