Key Knowledge Sites and Distribution maps

Each draft chapter is based on the research already conducted in our region.

We term those archaeological sites with substantial findings as Key Knowledge Sites. Their names appear in bold in the draft chapter. You can download a summary of the SWSARF Key Knowledge Sites as a Word document.

Where other archaeological sites are discussed, these are termed Other Named Sites and appear in italics. References are given in the chapter for the research on these sites. You can download the SWSARF Bibliography as a Word document.

Below are distribution maps showing all the sites mentioned in the Palaeolithic & Mesolithic chapter draft.
