Hopefully the annual garage Finningham White Horse sales will have been a useful way of getting rid of unwanted items that can be useful to someone else. Opening times At our last committee meeting we agreed to donate £1000 towards the replace- ment of the slide in the children's play area on the green. Unfortunately since Monday to Friday 3.00 pm – 11.00 pm that time the swings have suffered some damage from a falling tree branch so the Parish Council is likely to have some challenges ahead. Saturday 12 mid-day – 11.00 pm We have agreed to work more closely with Westhorpe village regarding social events and will forge a formal link between Friends of Finningham and the Sunday 12 mid-day - 10.30 pm Westhorpe hall committee. Hopefully this will be a mutually beneficial arrange- ment for both villages. The first event that we are planning will be a Burns Night Every Friday - Free Pool Supper on Saturday January 27th. Please keep the date free. This will be in Westhorpe Village Hall. Last Sunday of the month -Pub Quiz from 8.00pm The older residents Christmas meal will no longer be restricted to just the older residents so will become the Finningham Village Christmas meal. Venue and Facebook search “Finningham White Horse” date have not yet been fixed but will be announced in the next newsletter. We are planning to plant daffodil bulbs on the village triangles and around the edge of the green. The planting day will be 30th September. If you are willing to help on the day we will meet on the village green at 10.00 in the morning. There will be in the region of 900 bulbs to plant so a good turnout will help to make the task easier. Our AGM will be on Tuesday 19th September in the Church at 19.30. Please feel free to come along and contribute to the meeting. We would really appreciate your ideas and contributions. If you are willing to help man (or women) a stall at the village Fete planned for Sunday 19th August we would love to hear from you. Colin From the editors This is our 1st year anniversary, the year has flown by and this is now our 7th issue. We hope that you enjoy reading the village newsletter, we are always looking at new ways to improve the look and feel of it and look forward to receiv- ing your feedback and comments on any improvements you think would make it even better. Let’s continue to make the Finningham Newsletter a fun and in- formative communication engine of our village!! On a sad note we have lost a valued friend and contributor to Finningham’s newsletter in David Bell. His interesting articles, perspectives and anecdotes were always a pleasure to read. His passion for our village will be greatly missed. 26 Richard & Lorraine 3 News from the parish council Events and notices Disaster Strikes! As many of you will have already seen, a large branch from one of our oak trees on the Green recently parted company with its trunk and landed on our swings. Although the Parish Council is in discussions with the manufacturers, it seems unlikely, due to their age, that the swings are repairable. Currently, the seats are wired up to prevent their use. What with the recent loss of the slide due to rotting, we now have very little to offer our younger residents and visitors by way of recreational facilities.

  • A Contextual Approach to the Study of Faunal Assemblages from Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Sites in the UK
    A contextual approach to the study of faunal assemblages from Lower and Middle Palaeolithic sites in the UK Geoff M Smith PhD thesis submitted to University College London 2010 1 I, Geoff M Smith 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. _________________________________________________ Geoff M Smith 2 Abstract This thesis represents a site-specific, holistic analysis of faunal assemblage formation at four key Palaeolithic sites (Boxgrove, Swanscombe, Hoxne and Lynford). Principally this research tests the a priori assumption that lithic tools and modified large to medium-sized fauna recovered from Pleistocene deposits represent a cultural accumulation and direct evidence of past hominin meat-procurement behaviour. Frequently, the association of lithics and modified fauna at a site has been used to support either active large-mammal hunting by hominins or a scavenging strategy. Hominin bone surface modification (cut marks, deliberate fracturing) highlight an input at the site but cannot be used in isolation from all other taphonomic modifiers as evidence for cultural accumulation. To understand the role of hominins in faunal assemblage accumulation all other taphonomic factors at a site must first be considered. A site-specific framework was established by using data on the depositional environment and palaeoecology. This provided a context for the primary zooarchaeological data (faunal material: all elements and bone surface modification) and helped explain the impact and importance of faunal accumulators and modifiers identified during analysis. This data was synthesized with information on predator and prey behavioural ecology to assess potential conflict and competition within the site palaeoenvironment.

Demographic Profile: Age & Ethnicity . Economy and Labour Market . Schools & NEET . Index of Multiple Deprivation . Health . Crime & Community Safety . Additional Information . Data Sources 3 ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILES: AN INTRODUCTION These profiles have been produced to support elected members, constituents and other interested parties in understanding the demographic, economic, social and educational profile of their neighbourhoods. We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crime is prevalent in the community? A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory www.suffolkobservatory.info The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is the one‐stop‐shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk.

Terrestrial records of MIS 11, though of high resolution, are often fragmentary and their chronology is poorly constrained. However, some notable exceptions include sequences from the maar lakes in France and Tenaghi Philippon in Greece. In the UK, the Hoxnian Interglacial has been considered to correlate with MIS 11. New investigations at Hoxne (Suffolk) provide an opportunity to re-evaluate the terrestrial record of MIS 11. At Hoxne, the type Hoxnian Interglacial sediments are overlain by a post-Hoxnian cold-temperate sequence. The interglacial sediments and the later temperate phase are separated by the so-called ‘Arctic Bed’ from which cold-climate macroscopic plant and beetle remains have been recovered.

    JOHN WYMER Jim Rose Copyright © British Academy 2007 – all rights reserved John James Wymer 1928–2006 ON A WET JUNE DAY IN 1997 a party of archaeologists met at the Swan in the small Suffolk village of Hoxne to celebrate a short letter that changed the way we understand our origins. Two hundred years before, the Suffolk landowner John Frere had written to the Society of Antiquaries of London about flint ‘weapons’ that had been dug up in the local brickyard. He noted the depth of the strata in which they lay alongside the bones of unknown animals of enormous size. He concluded with great prescience that ‘the situation in which these weapons were found may tempt us to refer them to a very remote period indeed; even beyond that of the present world’.1 Frere’s letter is now recognised as the starting point for Palaeolithic, old stone age, archaeology. In two short pages he identified stone tools as objects of curiosity in their own right. But he also reasoned that because of their geological position they were ‘fabricated and used by a people who had not the use of metals’.2 The bi-centenary gathering was organised by John Wymer who devoted his professional life to the study of the Palaeolithic and whose importance to the subject extended far beyond a brickpit in Suffolk. Wymer was the greatest field naturalist of the Palaeolithic. He had acute gifts of observation and an attention to detail for both artefacts and geol- ogy that was unsurpassed. He provided a typology and a chronology for the earliest artefacts of Britain and used these same skills to establish 1 R.
