Abstract
It is tentatively submitted that radiocarbon dating of Podocarpus wood from a well at Foxton suggests that sea-level may have risen about 150 ft during the last 9900 years, but there is no decisive evidence to indicate whether the land at the well site has been stable or tectonicaUy elevated or depressed in recent times.Keywords
