“…Worthington Smith was mainly responsible for the collections in east London from Stoke Newington, Lower Clapton and Grays, as well as the Bedfordshire sites of Kempston and Biddenham (Smith, 1894). These workers were generally assiduous in their recovery, although at times they also relied on local laborers to augment their collections (Harris et al, 2019). Generally, Treacher, Lacaille, and Smith collected more cores and flakes than their contemporaries, recognizing their importance and subsequently identifying more flake tools (though not always accurately), which may be one reason why a number of MIS 9 sites have higher numbers of flake tools attributed to them (Hosfield, 2009;Roe, 2009;Harris et al, 2019).…”
