Full Description
At Greenhithe, in Kent, resting upon the melt water gravels of the Coombe rock glaciation an industry similar to that at Flamborough Head, consisting of flake implements, struck from small tortoise cores. This industry exhibits a minor variation in that the tortoise cores apear to be replaced by an ordinary core with a dressed striking platform. In both instances, small Levallois flakes are produced.There were also found fragments of coarse, gritty, undecorated pottery associated with the artefacts. (1, 2, 3, 4)
