Slindon Organics

A hitherto unknown suite of organic deposits has been discovered within the Slindon Estate. These deposits preserve pollen and macroscopic plant remains and are a chronostratigraphic equivalent of the palaeosol at the Boxgrove site. Analysis of the organic remains supports the hypothesis that these sediments were lain down at the end of the Boxgrove interglacial.
