Cover Story: Floodplain deposits record a history of a river’s responses to natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and numerous types of stratigraphic markers have been used to interpret temporal and spatial changes in riverine ecosystems. A significant, recent approach to the analysis of floodplain deposits is chemostratigraphy in which chemically defined units of a given age (chemical isochrones) are used to assess the dispersal and three-dimensional depositional pattern of contaminated sediment with recent alluvial deposits. This paper explores the use of chemostratigraphy to interpret the deposition of recent uncontaminated legacy sediments representative of those found throughout the eastern and southeastern US, as well as many other parts of the world.
