The Palaeolithic Archaeology of the Sussex / Hampshire Coastal Corridor project

The ADS has just released the data for the Sussex/Hampshire coastal corridor project.

In their words;
"The unique Middle and Late Pleistocene sedimentary record preserved along the Sussex / Hampshire coastal corridor between Romsey and Brighton that formed over the last 500,000 years contains a wealth of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic archaeological remains. The importance of these deposits has been recognised through the various phases of excavation at the internationally renowned site at Boxgrove, through mapping work on the upper coastal plain and the field and analysis work associated with the Palaeolithic Archaeology of the Sussex / Hampshire Coastal Corridor (PASHCC). These various works have now identified a range of sequences of different archaeological potential across the region and have produced information suitable for both curatorial purposes (evaluation / mitigation) as well as academic focused study."
