Notes about this historic site
1 A prepared blade-core of possible proto-Levallois type of quartzite material was found by Mr Ron Waite in 2012. This forms part of the Waite collection of Palaeolithic artefacts from the Nuneaton area. It appears to be a rare example in quartzite of core preparation and blade removal found elsewhere, more common in flint, using the Levallois technique. Illustrated.
