Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
During the early 1970s, excavations at Newhaven, East Sussex revealed apparently in situ scatters of flint artefacts associated with fine-grained sediments preserved within a series of periglacial landforms. The original analysis of this assemblage recognised the presence of refitting artefacts directly associated with a bifacially worked core. The presence of loess within the feature fills suggested to researchers at the time a Late Devensian age, a correlation which partially resulted in the erroneous classification of the assemblage as Upper Palaeolithic. Reconsideration of the assemblage, as part of the South East Region Research Framework process, has led to the suggestion that the assemblage results from a soft hammer biface reduction sequence which ended in the abandonment of the unfinished biface due to flaws in the original nodule. The true age of the site remains to be determined through further study. | |||||
