The fragmentary Trent terrace sequence is an important element of wider reconstructions of Pleistocene palaeodrainage in Britain, providing a link between the records preserved in the English Midlands and those in East Anglia"--Provided by publisher Résumé -- Zusammenfassung -- Introduction: Compiling the Pleistocene record from the Trent -- Geology : sedimentological and geomorphological data from the TVPP -- Palaeontology : data from fossils for palaeo-environments and biostratigraphy -- Gravel extraction : history of the aggregates industry in the Trent Valley -- Archaeology : the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic record from the Trent catchment -- Synthesis : the Pleistocene evolution and human occupation of the Trent -- Appendix I: Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating -- Appendix II: Full clast analysis data; AJH data -- Appendix III: Amino-acid racemisation (AAR) dating -- Appendix IV: Vertebrate faunal collections reviewed for the TVPP -- Appendix V: Artefact collections reviewed for the TVPP -- Appendix VI: Taphonomy experiments -- Appendix VII: Supplementary data used for mathematical modelling of uplift and valley incision. |
