The paper explores this problem on the chalklands of southern England which are rich in Beaker finds, and generally recognised as one of the best studied and well understood landscapes in Europe. From this study it is suggested that Beaker domestic sites are present, but are often in low-land positions on the chalk downs and have subsequently by buried by variable depths of hillwash, making them invisible to normal archaeological survey and reconnaissance.
