Title Land at Croxton and Garry, Swanscombe Road, Swanscombe: Palaeolithic Geoarchaeological Watching Brief
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2020

Abstract/Summary

The Palaeolithic geoarchaeological watching brief is the final phase of a staged approach in determining the Palaeolithic archaeological and geoarchaeological potential of the Site. The OSL dates demonstrate that extant Quaternary deposits within the site comprise solifluction deposits, reflecting accumulation under periglacial conditions, likely during the Last Glacial Maximum (26.5-19 KA), overlain by alluvial deposits dated to the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (16-12.9 KA) and colluvial material which has accumulated since at least the early Holocene (8.5 KA).
