Abstract
A personal, and deliberately contentious view of research into Quaternary cave sediments is presented. The various steps involved, from sampling to the establishment of regional sequences, are examined. It is the writer's opinion that the discipline lacks coherence, and that researchers in this field fail to communicate.Keywords
