Direction Therefore, most of the sedimentary layers consist of a layer of gravel doped with a layer of sand. fine sand layer clay layer intermittently mixed with the height above sea level this area therefore not being flooded by the sea At the peak Holocene tide phenomenon (8000 – 7000 cal BP) (TANABE et al. 2003 ) due to the highest flood level at that time, it was estimated that only 4-5 meters above the present mean sea level (THIRAMONGKOL 1983 )
