In situ artefacts found

Test Pits 5 and 6 have both produced in situ artefacts this week. At both localities we now have definite evidence for a human presence in the form of small quantities of late stage biface thinning debitage. The evidence, combined with local surface finds of handaxes and further artefacts in the overlying Head Deposits, suggests the habitual use of the Lavant Valley mouth during the same period that Boxgrove was occupied. Unless behaviour was significantly different in this context, the evidence suggests the likelihood of larger, more intensively occupied locales are present within the vicinity of the Valdoe.
