Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In Lithics 13, Mithen et al gave the impression that bifaces of ostensibly Lower Palaeolithic type are generally absent from the north of Britain and Scotland, other than the example in the Islay Museum which forms the subject of their note. The present contribution seeks to correct this impression, with particular reference to Scotland. Several examples of artefacts categorised as Lower Palaeolithic-type bifaces and discovered in Scotland are discussed, although none can be accepted as in situ occurrences of such artefacts. Whilst there is no prima facie reason why all or part of Scotland should not have been inhabited during climatically favourable phases of the Pleistocene, and there are many reasons why any archaeological evidence from such habitation might not be found, the only conclusion that can be drawn at present is that there was either no early human presence in Scotland, or that any presence was so ephemeral that no trace remains.
