Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the author explains that the Lower Palaeolithic archaeological record of the Solent Basin is dominated by secondary context lithic assemblages, which are frequently associated with river terrace gravel deposits. Interpretation of this archaeology has been hindered by both the spatial and chronological imprecision of the assemblages, and it has subsequently been argued that the behavioural information contained within these `sites' is extremely limited. The paper adopts a more optimistic stance, presenting an analytical methodology and interpretation of the geological processes by which these `sites' were formed, with particular emphasis upon artefact transportation and deposition and the chronological affinities of heterogeneous, derived lithic assemblages. Examples are presented for the sites of Wood Green and Dunbridge in the valleys of the Rivers Avon and Test. In conclusion, interpretative frameworks are presented that address research questions relevant to the structure of the archaeological record in the Solent (characterised by regional spatial scales and OIS cycles). Particular attention is paid to repetitive patterns of landscape exploitation and the potential of the data to the study of hominid demography | ||
