  • A CRITICAL EVALUATION of the LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD of the CHALK UPLANDS of NORTHWEST EUROPE Lesley
    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.

  • The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST.

  • Objec on to Large Site Development at Chawton Park Farm
    10/10/2019 Mail - Woodgate, Jenny - Outlook Large sites - Chawton Park Farm - Objection Sun 06/10/2019 13:52 To: EHDC - Local Plan <[email protected]> Objecon to Large Site development at Chawton Park Farm The plans for this site fall short in many areas and go against EHDCs own guidelines regarding the choice of site. This is why the site was rejected as unsuitable in the original Land Assessment, which has since been changed. These are the key objecons: 1) There are significant issues with access. Vehicle access is clearly unsuitable at this locaon, in part due to the 280 homes to be developed on Lord Mayor Trealor’s land 200m to the east. Chawton Park Rd will see hugely increase traffic, especially as the development proposes no shopping and has few other amenies and the development is over 1.5km from Alton town centre. This Road will be prone to significant traffic at peak mes alongside an increase in accident risk. Perhaps more significant is the access to the south through the railway arch onto the A31. This will be the main access route for the 1200 homes and, with the average vehicles per home in 2018 being 1.4 (Department for Transport), this means an esmated 1680 vehicles or probably more in reality due to poor and expensive public transport (the 64 bus is the most expensive route in the enre UK) and the very rural locaon. There are properes either side of the road north of the bridge with 4m between them. This means that a single lane will be needed right up to the arch and will not be able to have migaon for increased traffic.
