Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Article describing an investigation undertaken at Cuxton Rectory as part of the Aggregates Levy Medway Valley Palaeolithic Project. The importance of this site was recognised in the 1960s when numerous Palaeolithic artefacts, including 210 handaxes, were recovered from three small test pits. The main objective of the present project was to dig small trenches to gain access to sand-rich deposits for optically stimulated luminescence dating. Two test pits were excavated, one of which produced spectacular finds in the form of two exceptionally large and exquisitely made handaxes. If one accepts that the handaxes were deliberately shaped into a desired form, it can be argued that this reflects a symbolic capacity compatible with expression through language. LD | ||||
