Abstract:
Excavation of the site on the River Axe revealed a large assemblage of Lower Palaeolithic chert artefacts, predominantly handaxes. Optical dating of the fluvial sediments indicated a date of 270,000 BP to 250,000 BP. Issues currently being addressed include the geomorphological evolution of the River Axe, the evidence for minor climatic transitions in terrestrial sedimentary sequences, and the geoarchaeological formation of the artefact assemblage at Broom.
