Abstract: Thickness and character of alluvial cover determine the interpretation placed on piedmont forms, and in particular whether they are primarily depositional or erosional. Exposures of the cover in stream valleys and in isolated pits are useful but provide only localised information. In order to obtain a broader indication of thickness and variability of cover, a shallow seismic refraction survey was undertaken at a site in the western piedmont of the Flinders Ranges. A cover that is thin and of essentially uniform thickness (about 2 metres) was indicated. The landform is thus interpreted as a covered pediment rather than an alluvial fan or an alluvial fill.
