Abstract
The geology and palaeobotany of Quaternary deposits at Hoxne, Suffolk, have been investigated. Macroscopic plant remains and pollen diagrams from the lacustrine inter-glacial sediments are described as are the molluscan and mammalian faunas of the deposits and the glacial erratics from the covering till. The stratigraphy demonstrated here differs from that previously found at Hoxne in showing that there is 1 interglacial temperate horizon, undivided by a cold phase, whereas previously 2 temperate horizons separated by a cold phase had been described. The origin of this difference is explained. A comparison of these Quaternary deposits is made with those elsewhere in Europe. The Hoxne Interglacial is of Great (Elster/Saale, Mindel/Riss) Interglacial age.Keywords
