Overview
This dataset comprises some 3600 database records compiled from the TERPS data, originally listed by John Wymer on index cards, and subsequently issued as the six unpublished volumes (regionally based) of the Southern Rivers Palaeolithic Project, then the English Rivers Palaeolithic Project, between 1993 and 1997.
This dataset essentially summarises information for each Lower and Middle Palaeolithic findspot in England, detailing location, geology, circumstances of discovery, numbers and types of artefacts and their current location, current nature of site, and bibliographic sources (including references to TERPS mapping). These data formed the basis of The Lower Palaeolithic Occupation of Britain, published in 1999.
Some new and updated data were subsequently added by John Wymer, and the database, created in 2008, was also augmented by a few new entries from recent ALSF Palaeolithic projects such as the Medway Valley Palaeolithic Project (MVPP) and the Palaeolithic Archaeology of the Sussex/Hampshire Coastal Corridor (PASHCC).
