Abstract:Existing hypotheses concerning the speed and timing of the recolonisation of Britain by man after the last glaciation have largely been developed in the absence of securely‐dated Later Upper Palaeolithic (LUP) sites in the marginal areas of colonisation. In Kirkhead Cave, the most important LUP site in northern England, palynological, molluscan and palaeomagnetic evidence indicate that LUP occupation did not commence until mid‐pollen zone III of the Late‐glacial. This suggests later and slower colonisation of … Show more

Such omissions may justifiably give rise to doubts concerning the size of pollen sums reached in the depicted spectra.…”
