Some Observations on the British Earlier Upper Palaeolithic
An Early Upper Palaeolithic Open-air Station and Mid-Devensian Hyaena Den at Grange Farm, Glaston, Rutland, UK
Archaeological work preceding a housing development revealed mid-Devensian (MIS 3) deposits preserved in a geological fault, a graben feature, on an interfluve plateau. Rare evidence for Early Upper Palaeolithic open-air occupation was characterised by a scant lithic signature of the Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician (LRJ) leaf-point techno-complex of the North European plain. The lithics included a complete leaf-point, another broken example wi…
Radiocarbon chronology for the Early Gravettian of northern Europe
The authors explore the arrival of the earliest Gravettian in north-west Europe, using new high precision radiocarbon dates for bone excavated at Maisières-Canal in Belgium to define a short-lived occupation around 33 000 years ago. The tanged points in that assemblage have parallels in British sites, including Goat's Hole (Paviland). This is the site of the famous ochred burial of a young adult male, confusingly known as the ‘Red Lady’, now date…
An Extensive Late Upper Palaeolithic Flint Scatter at Farndon Fields, Near Newark, Nottinghamshire
In 1991, nine Late Upper Palaeolithic flint artefacts were recovered by fieldwalking in advance of the proposed upgrading of the A46 Fosse Way; subsequent detailed fieldwalking and test-pitting have recovered over three hundred broadly contemporary struck items scattered over an area of some 15 ha. This flint was initially identifiable from other (later) prehistoric flintwork by its large size and cortication (i.e. white-blue surface), also by it…
The "Red Lady" ages gracefully
AMS radiocarbon dating of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic bone in the British Isles
Recent research at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU) has shown that ultrafiltration of gelatin from archaeological bone can, in many instances, remove low molecular weight contaminants. These can sometimes be of a different radiocarbon age and, unless removed, may severely influence results, particularly when dating bones greater than two to three half‐lives of 14 C. In this study this methodology is applied to samples of Late Middle…
AMS Radiocarbon Dating of Ancient Bone Using Ultrafiltration
The Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU) has used an ultrafiltration protocol to further purify gelatin from archaeological bone since 2000. In this paper, the methodology is described, and it is shown that, in many instances, ultrafiltration successfully removes low molecular weight contaminants that less rigorous methods may not. These contaminants can sometimes be of a different radiocarbon age and, unless removed, may produce erroneous …
An Aurignacian point from Uphill Quarry (Somerset) and the earliest settlement of Britain by Homo sapiens sapiens
A rare and important AMS sample provides an Aurignacian date for Britain. The artefact and its implications are discussed
The Lateglacial Fauna From the Robin Hood Cave, Creswell Crags
Re‐study of the fauna recovered in 1969 during excavations by John Campbell in front of the West Entrance to Robin Hood Cave, Creswell Crags, Derbyshire, England, shows it to include components of different ages. Arctic hare is the only species certainly exploited by humans and it is suggested that the position and character of cut‐marks preserved on bone surfaces documents the processing and possible consumption of uncooked meat. It has not been…
Excavations at Gough's Cave, Somerset 1986-7
The British Isles, at the northern fringes of human occupation in Pleistocene Europe, offer a collection of Upper Palaeolithic sites which cannot match the riches of the continental mainland. And many of its sites, studied in the 19th century, have been much quarried or even quarried out. New finds from Gough's Cave - one of the classic sites that was almost emptied in the work that made it classic-show, nevertheless, that important new discoveri…

Thermoluminescence Dating of Burned Flints From a British Mesolithic Site
Some aspects of change in flaked stone industries of the mesolithic and neolithic in Southern Britain
Britain Inside and Outside Mesolithic Europe
It is now some twenty years since Clark wrote his paper ‘A Microlithic Industry from the Cambridgeshire Fenland and other industries of Sauveterrian affinities from Britain’ (Clark 1955), and almost as long since he considered the cultural and chronological implications of flint industries with Trapezes—bitruncated blades—in North Western Europe (Clark 1958). Since then some 150 to 200 radiocarbon determinations have become available for the Meso…
The Southern Pennine Mesolithic and the ecological record
Late Devensian and Early Flandrian Barbed Points from Sproughton, Suffolk
Commercial gravel working in the Devil's Wood Pit, Sproughton, situated in the flood plain of the River Gipping, has produced as chance finds two barbed points of bone and antler. Both came from the sand and gravel deposits which fill the buried channel of the Gipping. The points are discussed in relation to other barbed points found in England, particularly those which have associations which allow their dates to be assessed. Radiocarbon dates f…
