In 1985 the author initiated a fieldwalking project (completed in 1994) covering a 1-km-square area of Downland, on East and West Hills, Pyecombe (Fig. 1). Previously, many flint artefacts had been recovered by amateur flint collectors from this area (Gardiner 1988), and the wide range of pieces recovered from East and West Hills suggested that there had been activity here during the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. The pieces recovered by these early flint collectors were mostly finely-retouched implements such as arrowheads, scrapers and knives, with very little debitage being collected. To obtain a clearer picture of the prehistoric activity on East and West Hills a systematic survey of the area was carried out (Butler 1988).
