Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Controlled excavations at Clacton-on-Sea, Hoxne and Swanscombe have revealed levels containing both Clactonian and Acheulian flint industries in primary contexts. All have complex and discontinuous sedimentary records; nonetheless, overlaps allow correlations. The Clactonian appears to run from the latter part of the Anglian to at least the Early-temperate zone of the Hoxnian (Ho IIb). Both Acheulian and Clactonian people preferred waterside environments. Acheulian first appears at Hoxne in Ho IIc, close in time to the Clactonian; the Acheulian users may have infringed Clactonian territory. Different traditions of handaxe manufacture existed side by side in Britain during the Hoxnian and Wolstonian stages. The Swanscombe sequence cannot be certainly fitted into the Clacton-Hoxne framework, but new pollen evidence from the Lower Loam suggests that either the Lower Gravel and the Lower Loam are pre-Hoxnian, or the Middle Gravels are Wolstonian.
