“…Assemblages from the middle and lower Thames sites were almost entirely amassed during the 19th and early 20th century, and current understanding of the archaeological record is mostly drawn from a reappraisal of antiquarian collections from gravel pits in the London area. These include Creffield Road, Acton (Brown, 1887); West Drayton and Yiewsley in West London (Brown, 1895); the Lion Pit Tramway Cutting, West Thurrock (Essex) (Dibley and Kennard 1916, Warren 1923, Bridgland and Harding 1994, Schreve et al 2006, deposits infilling the Ebbsfleet Valley, including the locality often referred to as 'Baker's Hole' (Smith 1911, Burchell 1935, 1936a, 1936b, 1957, Kerney and Sieveking 1977, Wenban-Smith 1995, Scott et al 2010) and a number of brickearth pits near Crayford (Kent), most notably Stoneham's Pit, which provides an extraordinary set of refitting knapping sequences (Spurrell 1880(Spurrell , 1884. Aveley (Essex) provides a more recently excavated sequence (Candy and Schreve 2007, Schreve 1997, 2001a, 2001b but only a small assemblage of artefacts (n = 8) was recovered, which included a small, extensively worked Levallois core (White et al 2006).…”
