A collection of Palaeolithic fiint artefacts from Limpsfield in Surrey, assembled around the end of the 19th century, is recorded and analysed, and a large number are allocated a site provenance. A number of discrete sites and possible sub -sites are identified, and the result Y. recent fieldwork in the area is also described. The finds include a high percentage of bifaces with twisted profiles which it is suggested may partly be the result of preparing a biface on a wide and thick but short flake. The finds are related to the local Quaternary geology and their significance for early human activity within the landscape is considered.
