Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A considerable amount of Palaeolithic flint material was recovered between 1883 and 1906 from sites around the headwaters of the river Darent at Limpsfield on the Surrey/Kent border; the collection has recently come to light and is now being studied. The relationship of the various Palaeolithic sites to the complex drift geology of the Limpsfield area is described here. The area around Ridlands Farm, where the greatest quantity of material originated, has recently been investigated. However, little material was recovered and most of it exhibited Mesolithic traits. The material recovered earlier seems to have been collected after a period of deep ploughing. If this is the case, further cultural layers could remain in situ awaiting discovery. The Limpsfield artefacts need not all be contemporary. The tools from the Brickearth deposits, however, are so similar in terms of technique, style and general condition that they could be near-contemporary. If not indicative of actual occupation, they could perhaps represent successive visits by the same group of hunters. LD | ||||||
