Abstract:
The stratigraphy and palaeobotany of new in situ exposures of interglacial deposits at Swanton Morley, Norfolk are described. These organic sediments, which probably accumulated in a river back channel, are shown to cover pollen zones Ib to IIb of the Ipswichian interglacial. Macroscopic plant fossils include a new record for Trapa natans from subzone Ip IIb. Vertebrate remains from the new excavations, and from previous finds, have been pollen-dated. The Ip IIa fauna, the first recorded from this subzone, includes Emys orbicularis , small mammals including Microtus oeconomus , and some large mammals. Hippopotamus amphibies is recorded from early zone Ip III. Of particular interest are hazelnuts gnawed by Apodemus , and large mammal bones damaged by Crocuta .
