The article outlines the results of fieldwork undertaken between 2001 and 2005 at the Palaeolithic site of Rookery Farm, Lower Kingswood. The work comprised annual fieldwalking with test pitting in summer 2002 followed by excavation in 2003--4. The work produced nearly 400 flint artefacts of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic date. These artefacts mainly comprise handaxes and waste flakes (débitage), and it is suggested that although the majority of the artefacts resemble material recovered from earlier investigations of the site which have been compared with Farnham Terrace B material, artefacts are also present which are distinctive in both technology and post-depositional weathering and are comparable to Farnham Terrace A and Terrace C material. Excavation demonstrated that those artefacts not within the plough-soil exist within a loessy clay layer under the plough-soil and resting on Clay-with-flints, and it is concluded that there is evidence for multi-period deposition on the site during the Palaeolithic. There is also a brief summary of recently recovered Palaeolithic finds from the general area, and some comments on previous work at the site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
