Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
These are the first two papers in a series designed by the county society to assess current knowledge and guide future research. The Lower and Middle Palaeolithic material is drawn from the recent Gazetteer (69/303), but artefact totals are here placed in the context of those from adjacent counties and from Kent. The Wiltshire finds come mostly from river valleys, occasionally from the high chalklands, with Knowle Farm the only outstandingly prolific site. No Upper Palaeolithic material has been found. Checking of gravel workings, deep building sites and the high chalklands may produce an occupation site with undisturbed assemblages, and dating by environmental or geological means of implementiferous deposits would be desirable. For the Mesolithic, only one large site is known, that at Castle Mead (Downton) which yielded late, derived Maglemosian artefacts. Most sites produce isolated finds or small assemblages of mixed tradition. Future prospects are poor because of soil erosion, but careful watch should be kept for valley sites buried under hill wash. | ||||||||||
