Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Evaluation in advance of development at a site south-east of Swanscombe in 1997 found that the geology was more complex than had been realised; probable Pleistocene deposits were observed, from which a small number of Palaeolithic artefacts were recovered. Additional evaluation work involved the recording of the geological deposits and sieving of samples for Palaeolithic artefacts and faunal remains. Previous research in the area is outlined and the geology is discussed before the results of the additional evaluation are presented. A further 48 Palaeolithic artefacts and a few fragments of micro-fauna were recovered. The artefacts occurred in low concentrations and showed evidence of their transportation by the fluvial deposits in which they were found. The assemblage included pointed handaxes similar to those from the Middle Gravels at nearby Barnfield Pit. A re-appraisal of geological mapping of the area is now considered necessary. LD | ||||||||
