Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
taking as a starting point Wymer's suggestion in 1968 that the archaeological sequence from successive terraces in a major Pleistocene drainage basin such as the Thames could serve as a model for the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic as a whole, and the evidence of sites such as Hoxne, High Lodge and Boxgrove contradicting this premise, the author points out that no comparable study of archaeological change within the sequence of a different drainage basin has taken place. He argues that, if certain premises concerning the relation of lithic typology/technology to Palaeolithic behaviour are accepted, then the potential exists ultimately for the investigation of issues such as range and mobility, as well as date. Study material from Highfield in Southampton has revealed both internal diversity at one location within a single terrace unit, and distinctive features absent in the Thames sequence. It is argued that this demonstrates the regional nature of the gross Palaeolithic cultural record, and highlights the necessity for the construction of frameworks of cultural change beyond, and at a finer spatial resolution than, the Thames Valley. It also emphasises the importance of improving understanding of the chronological and spatial resolution of artefact collections from river terrace deposits if their interpretive potential is to be expanded | ||||||
