| Abstract: | By virtue of its mode of formation, the Ghar Dalam sediments may be considered to represent alluvial deposits and normal cave deposits with or without surface influence. Alluvial deposits consist of a conglomerate of debris carried by running surface waters deposited where changes in water flow occur. After excavations of the 14-foot thick cave floor, the stratigraphy was found to be divided into seven main layers outlined from below upwards in the Table. The original stratification of the cave floor can be seen in the pillar of cave deposit left in situ half-way down the passage of the cave. |
