  • 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.

  • Rail Devolution Business Case Narrative
    Submission to HM Government Date: 14 October 2016 Title: Rail devolution business case narrative 1 Summary 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to set out the case for further transfer of responsibility for the provision of some rail passenger services from the Department for Transport (DfT) to the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). Significant improvement in the quality of services for passengers 1.2 Further devolution of inner suburban rail services within London will deliver significant economic, financial and customer benefits by 2020 through: More reliable and better services for passengers, delivered through a concession contracting model where the provider of train services focuses purely on reliability and customer satisfaction TfL’s proven ability to work with Network Rail sharing resources between them and London Underground Seamless and integrated fares, ticketing, branding and information for passengers across public transport services in London, which not only encourages more people to use public transport, but also reduces fare evasion A greater ability to plan and deliver the cost effective provision of public transport and associated projects across all local services, including buses, walking and cycling 1.3 Taken together, one impact will be to generate additional demand and revenue. On the recently devolved West Anglia services this has increased 27 per cent since devolution in May 2015. TfL expects an increase of 14 per cent in southeast London. The additional revenue can itself be re-invested in service enhancements 1.4 The package has a quantified benefit cost ratio of 4.3 : 1, based on railway passenger benefits, which shows that this offers high value for money.
