Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the paper describes the results of an artefact search on the Northern Drift in the Upper Thames, following an initial report of surface Palaeolithic quartzite artefacts, including a second clustered location on a plateau-top at Combe, Oxfordshire. The post-depositional history of the Drift is examined and evidence discussed for both surface movement and concentration of surface quartzite clasts through wind deflation. The sites suggest a palimpsest of human occupations, widely spaced over time during cool or cold phases, concentrated at raw material source points, but with subsidiary activity elsewhere in the landscape. The study provides a glimpse of landscape strategies in areas away from valley floors, and arguments are advanced to suggest why river banks of major valleys may not have made ideal Palaeolithic living spaces. A model is proposed for the identification of other fossil Palaeolandscapes in Britain. | ||||||
