  • 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.

  • Tony Jarratt's Caving Log Volume 5, 1992-1994
    Tony Jarratt’s Caving Log Volume 5, 1992-1994 Page 1 VIETNAM Hang Vom 7h 40m Chay River See below Quáng Bính 1/4/92 Major Paul, Carl, Rupert, discovery Simon, Noddy Dany, Pete and Nh ượng went back down to Phong Nha to get the correct stove fuel. The rest of us swam into Hang Vom, with two sets of survey kit as far as the impressive and unscaleable c.10m daylight shaft. From here Rupert, Nod and Simon continued upstream to explore and survey at least another kilometre of huge and sporting river cave with lots of swimming sections and climbs over boulders. Carl, Paul and I doffed our wetsuits and wearing shorts and T-shirts followed the huge, previously explored dry passage entering on the LH side at the daylight shaft. We passed through massive galleries and chambers with spectacular gours, flowstone and bosses to reach an incredibly wide chamber (c.100m diameter) with an enormous stalagmite boss in the centre – one of the world’s largest. This area was named Confucian Chamber and it took 400m of surveying to close a loop around it! The floor was composed of ancient gours and dunes of sand and a dry streamway showed that there would be a good flow of water here in wet weather. A hairy climb in one corner led to some 20 metres of well-decorated passage, closing down. In another place a 30-40 m wide gallery with a flat sandy floor bored off for 120m to a static pool. Here I stopped, not having my lifejacket but Carl amd Paul swam through (15m) to find the passage continuing bigger than before.
