The British Palaeolithic(1st Edition) Human Societies at the Edge of the Pleistocene World (Routledge Archaeology of Northern Europe) by PaulPettitt, Mark White Paperback, 616 Pages, Published 2012 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-415-67455-3, ISBN: 0-415-67455-7
"The British Palaeolithic provides the first academic synthesis of the entire British Palaeolithic, from the earliest occupation (currently understood to be around 980,000 years ago) to the end of the Ice Age. Landscape and ecology form the canvas for an explicitly interpretative approach aimed at understanding the how different hominin societies addressed the issues of life at the edge of the Pleistocene world. Commencing with a cons ..."
"Humans are unique in that they expend considerable effort and ingenuity in disposing of the dead. Some of the recognisable ways we do this are visible in the Palaeolithic archaeology of the Ice Age. The Palaeolithic Origins of Human Burial takes a novel approach to the long-term development of human mortuary activity – the various ways we deal with the dead and with dead bodies. It is the first comprehensive survey of Palaeolithic mortu ..."
"Creswell Crags, located on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border, is a limestone gorge honeycombed with caves and smaller fissures, and was among the most northerly places on earth to have been visited by our ancient ancestors, a story that is unique on a European and World Scale. In 2003 Britain's first Ice Age cave art was discovered at Creswell Crags by Paul Bahn, Paul Pettitt and Sergio Ripoll, a discovery billed as one of the m ..."
"Cave art is a subject of perennial interest among archaeologists. Until recently it was assumed that it was largely restricted to southern France and northern Iberia, although in recent years new discoveries have demonstrated that it originally had a much wider distribution. The discovery in 2003 of the UK's first examples of cave art, in two caves at Creswell Crags on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border, was the most surprising illus ..."

"MIS7 comprised three warm events (7e, 7c and 7a), interrupted by two cold
substages (7d and 7b). Although well established in the marine isotope record,
MIS7 has only recently been recognised as a distinct and valid interglacial in the
terrestrial record. Key marker species include the 'Ilford-type' mammoth, the
freshwater clam Corbicula fluminalis (which is absent from all later interglacials;
Keen 1990) and the beetle Oxyletus gi ..."

"... Farm Oldbury Group II, dominated by squat, broad-pointed handaxes with a
strong ovate element, all date to MIS11, as does the pointed ovate-dominated
Group VI. Most of the Group VI sites, along with Hitchin from Group II, contain
high proportions of twisted ovates. These groups are distinguished by raw
material sources, Group II occurring on gravel raw materials, Group VI on fresh
flint. That one period contains two dominant gr ..."
