Full Description
For Pre-Anglian deposits see FLN 065 & 068 (part of 061 area): bone, plant remains, insects and very fresh struck flint [said to be rich assemblage of over 200 in situ struck flints - flakes and cores; Pers Comm Adrian Havercroft, March 2012, details to follow] found in Pre-Anglian organic channel in pit by Schreve Danielle, Barbara Silva and Ian Candy of the Royal Holloway University.
' It therefore appears that there are fresh early Middle Pleistocene artefacts, a rolled series of handaxes of undetermined age and Middle Palaeolithic all present in different parts of the quarry' (S1).
2004/2005: Also a Levallois Flake was found as part of soil stripping during monitoring for phase 13 and 14.
