Full description

If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.

Material from the site first documented (and noted as of potential importance) by Roe (1, 2), and later included in Southern Rivers Palaeolithic Project (3, 4), and also examined in 2005-2006 for the Medway Valley Palaeolithic Project (5). Accession and archive information includes map with precise "find-spot as marked by Dr Roach" (6, 7). Much of the material is reported by Roe (2) as in fresh condition. handaxes from the site are mostly pointed or sub-cordate, and the flake-tools are all scrapers or notched flakes.
