CH. XXXIII TRACES OF OLD RIVER BED 391
light sand and quite free from Yardangs. It seemed as
if the originally low position, together with the direction
of the bed—which differed from that of the prevailing
north-east winds,—had prevented any excessive scouring
by wind and driving sand ; possibly erosion had been
retarded by the heavy drift sand which had accumulated
in the bed while desiccation proceeded. Nor was it easy
to make sure in the absence of direct antiquarian evidence
whether this bed existed at the time when the site was
last occupied or had been formed subsequently during
some temporary return of the river.
