His past and current work has explored the river terrace artefact archives of the Lower and early Middle Palaeolithic in Britain (particularly the Solent River), and the formation of river terrace assemblages (including the use of experimental archaeology). He is currently investigating the British Lower Palaeolithic assemblage at the site of Corfe Mullen (Dorset), including fieldwork with Dr John McNabb, and developing various new projects (see Robs Website). Until recently Rob acted as Editor of Lithics, before handing over to Beccy Scott and Andy Shaw.

Richard Hoyle

Richard

Richards interests lie in using Geographic Information Systems to reveal the additional information hidden in lithics scatters. That, and the cognitive evolution of anatomically modern humans (the last 150,000 years). He is currently analysing GIS records of experimental knapping scatters from Lejre, Denmark.

He is an alumnus of the MA Artefact Studies course at UCL, and a Trustee of Chesham Museum.
