Indeed, the palynological content of these deposits indicates a forestedterized by an association of b o d and temperate trees (Munaut, 1988): a vege tational environment similar to that found at present on the plains of Central Europe.…”

Recent research on the Somme Valley terrace deposits, that began in 1987, has resulted in an integrated sequence of geological and geomorphological evidence for this area that is of particular significance for prehistoric investigations. This has been achieved using previous evidence and new results from archaeological and geological excavations. These include longitudinal profiles, cartography and detailed synthesis of sections of alluvial deposits, stratigraphy of river deposits and overlying loess sequences. The work, based on a study of the geometry of the terrace system, has resulted in the identification of ninestepped alluvial formations that occur along 70km of the valley.Detailed study permits the integration of the various alluvial sequences.
