Popis:	A relative sea-level curve for the Flandrian Stage has been drawn, based on twenty-three index points from west Lancashire and three from north Cheshire. Twenty-two of the points derive from a restricted area flanking the River Ribble, and one from Morecambe Bay. Evidence for sea-level changes comes from detailed stratigraphic and pollen analyses on material selected for radiocarbon assays. Eleven periods of marine transgression are recognised in northwest England, and these are compared with periods of marine transgression elsewhere in northwest Europe. The evidence for the ‘Hillhouse Coastline’ is considered in relation to the periods of marine transgression established in northwest England.
