Title:The lower Palaeolithic site of Broom: geoarchaeoloical implications of optical dating
Originator:Hosfield, R. T. + Chambers, J. C.
Date:2002
Summary:Optical dating resolution at Broom is unable to accurately date the duration of the middle bed's (containing the artefact assemblage) depositional phase. Dates do indicate a Lower Palaeolithic presence in southwest Britain. It is suggested that the sands and gravels were deposited slightly too early to contain the first evidence of Levallois technique in south-west Britain.
