    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release.

A right wing group seeks to rise roughshod over relationships that have endured for decades. Many citizens would like to return to how it was in the 1960s. Others feel what they were promised in the 1970s is different to how things have turned out. Meanwhile, remainers are striving to find any legal means to prevent what the government intends. Yes, we have to face it – the plans for a Unitary Council in Buckinghamshire are not going well. As the erstwhile Bucks district councils plan legal action against the Secretary of State’s scheme, one wonders again just why our County Councillor is so, to use his phrase, ‘delighted’, at Mr Brokenshire’s decision. Some call for a ‘Buxit’ with us re-locating in the Royal Borough and I recommend Virginia Silvester’s article in this issue on the evolution of Bucks’ borders to get an idea of how Dorney came to be poised on the edge of two counties. Anybody reading the Parish Council minutes in this issue will see how our representatives believe that decisions over liaison with the M4 Project are being taken far to the north of Dorney.
