An Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Palaeolithic in Northamptonshire
نویسنده
چکیده
1.1 The evidence for the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic in Northamptonshire has recently been summarised and briefly reviewed as part of the English Heritage sponsored English Rivers Palaeolithic Project (ERPP) (Wessex Archaeology, 1996). This paper has been prepared as part of the East Midlands Regional Research Frameworks Project to provide a brief statement of the current state of knowledge for the Palaeolithic period in Northamptonshire as well as a preliminary statement of issues for a research agenda and strategy. It draws on the data collected by the ERPP (with some minor additions and amendments) and considers this within the context of the local Pleistocene geological sequence.
