Abstract:		 A series of archaeological investigations was undertaken at Clifton Quarry, Kempsey, Worcestershire. It was undertaken on behalf of Tarmac Limited in advance of the permitted extension of mineral extraction. These investigations formed the final stages of an extended programme of archaeological work at the site, and took place between 2012 and 2016. Incorporating extensive palaeoenvironmental analysis from previous works on the site, these investigations mapped peat deposits and alluvial formations derived from a palaeochannel alongside archaeological remains from a number of periods. A mammoth tusk recovered from within the sand and gravel provided a rare and well preserved example of Late Glacial large mammalian fauna. This was probably deposited between 16-12,000 years ago when the terrace deposits it was found within were being laid down.
