  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

    WESSEX CAVE CLUB Journal No. 106, Vol. 9. May 1966 CLUB NEWS Club Digs New caves are wanted on Mendip and so those who are getting into trim for the surface digging season ahead will find the following of interest:- 1. Fairman’s Folly has been earmarked as the main Club Dig. This dig (NGR ST 551 528) is situated in the NE comer of the second field along the Red Quarr road from the Miner’s Arms cross roads. The field is on conglomerate of variable depth over north dipping limestones. The shake hole concerned was dug by Sheila Fairman some years ago and a rift was reached from which a draught is reputed to have come. However, shortage of explosives prevented the removal of obstructing boulders. Anyone interested will be welcome. NOTE: This dig is almost within sight of the chimneys of the Hunters. Organiser:- A.J. Surrall, 216 Evesham Road, Headless Cross, Redditch, Worcs. 2. Bos Swallet is being dug by members of the Sidcot School Speleological Society on our behalf. Rather akin to our own protracted association with Cow Hole, the Sidcot lads have an old score to settle with Bos Swallet, dating from their initial discovery in 1945. Whilst wishing them success in reopening this swallet, and in pushing the old terminal choke, it is hoped that members who visit Burrington will pay a call to the site and lend a hand. If you are interested please contact Mark Morland, at Sidcot, as he is the present secretary of the Society. New Members We welcome the following new members to the Club:- Elected 30.2.66.
