The Behaviour of Artefacts as Sedimentary Particles in a Fluviatile Environment
Lower Palaeolithic artefacts are frequently contained in fluviatile deposits, and it follows that a consideration of the stream processes which resulted in their deposition and preservation is necessary in order to evaluate the archaeological significance of such ‘assemblages’. This note indicates some aspects of artefact taphonomy of particular importance, in the hope that it may stimulate a more empirical approach to the contextual study of imp…
The Use of Textural Parameters in the Analysis of Cave Sediments
S This paper considers the presentation of the results of the mechanical analysis of cave sediments, suggesting that the use of grain size parameter scatter diagrams is preferable to the older method of cumulative percentage frequency graphs. A sequence of samples was taken from an ideally‐situated cave, the Badger Hole at Wookey, and first subjected to the standard soil analytical tests, followed by a detailed mechanical analysis. It is hoped th…
