Wilmington, general area: very numerous finds of Palaeolithic handaxes (>40) and other material (several flakes, one possible flake tool, and one possible Levallois flake) - circumstances of recovery unknown but presumed surface-finds. Mostly held in collections of Maidstone Museum and Museum of London, where recorded by Roe in the 1960s (1). This is an area of high Palaeolithic potential, where riverside deposits (especially the Dartford Silt) survive from the broad period 500,000-350,000 BP.
