Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology undertook an archaeological assessment of the dredging work undertaken for the Bacton Beach Nourishment project. This followed the discovery of over 1000 Palaeolithic stone tools by members of the general public on the beach at Walcott, where aggregate was deposited for the project. The assessment comprised two study areas - the beach between Bacton and Walcott (where the aggregate was deposited), and the East Coast aggregate areas where the material for the project was dredged. Based on the assessment, the provenance of the stone tools could not be definitively confirmed. However, it is thought by Wessex Archaeology, based on the artefact typology and the distribution of sedimentary units across the region and the locations used for extraction that they are most likely to be derived from the Unit 3b sediments (reworked glaciofluvial outwash dating to the Wolstonian glaciation (c. 380-130 ka)) located within the utilised portions of Licence Area 511, Licence Area 228 or both.
