	Module 4 Outline
		The River Axe Valley is particularly important within the context of this project as it is the source of an anomalously high concentration of artefacts (Broom) and has anomalous geomorphological characteristics.
		The Axe valley will be used to calibrate GPR remote sensing techniques and to create systematic protocols which will subsequently be applied to the Exe and Otter river valley systems.
		It is clear that the Axe Valley lacks a classical terrace sequence in the manner of other UK fluvial systems such as the Thames, making the development of a terrace-based geochronology difficult.

	INTRODUCTION
		River or canal navigation was possible only across the marshy areas of the north-west and the Somerset Levels between the Mendips and the Western Hills.
		River navigation was helped by the exceptionally high tidal range of the Severn estuary and the tidal bore which helped to carry boats up the rivers Parrett and Tone.
		The second phase came with the increasing use of coal by the end of the seventeenth century, when river navigation was improved and developed.
