Abstract
New investigations at Slindon Bottom Palaeolithic site, West Sussex: an interim report
Matt Pope
3 - 10
Reports fieldwork undertaken to map the Pleistocene geology of the site. Thirty-six flint artefacts are reported, including a patinated and abraded biface.
A Levallois flake from Somersham, Cambridgeshire
John J Wymer
R G West

Notes the discovery of the high-quality flake during the course of geological investigations.
Neolithic activity on the floodplain of the River Thames at Dorney
Hugo Lamdin-Whymark
22 - 36
Offers the results of a detailed analysis of twenty-six flint scatters preserved in situ on a 140m section of the Thames floodplain. A total of 10,753 flints were recovered during excavation, mostly of Neolithic date. Background Mesolithic and Bronze Age activity is also evinced.
A polished flint arrowhead from Tilgate Lodge, West Sussex
Chris Butler
37 - 38
Suggests that this arrowhead is unique, being the only barbed, tanged and polished example identified.
Experimental heat-treatment of flint
Karl Lee
39 - 44
Reports the experimental firing of flint in a `roasting pit'. Concludes that the most appropriate type of fire for the purpose of heat treating lithic material is a low, wide, well fed fire that concentrates heat, rather than a tall narrow `bonfire'. An important factor appears to be that a thick bed of embers is required to retain the heat of the fire. Following the completion of the experiments the entire heating pit was excavated, with the intention that heat-treatment pits in the archaeological record will be more easily recognised.
Three Lower Palaeolithic artefacts from the Surrey Weald
Gabby Rapson
45 - 46
Notes three worked flint pieces, two of which came from the village of Outwood, the other from near Salfords, Surrey.
Palaeolithic handaxes from the Lymn Valley Lincolnshire
