Raised beaches and sea-levels in the English Channel in the Middle and Late Pleistocene: problems of interpretation and implications for the isolation of the British Isles

D. H. Keen

Division of Geography, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK

This paper discusses the problems of the interpretation of the evidence for pre-Holocene high sea-level events and their age in the Strait of Dover and adjacent areas. This review suggests that there is evidence for the isolation of Britain from the continent in Oxygen Isotope Stages 7 and 5. The evidence for isolation in Stage 9 is less certain, and in Stage 11 is rather poor. In Stage 5, at least, isolation may have lasted for as long as 60 000 years.
