Palaeolithic site and find distribution in SW England from PRoSWEB with the cumulative number of artefacts plotted against area as a measure of the variance of site richness and statistics for find location.

Vegetation reconstruction for southern England with SST from ODP 980 and approximate site chronology.
Adapted from Stemerdink et(2010). Site code; Ac = Acton, Abb = Abbeville, Br = Broom, Bx = Boxgrove, C = Clacton, Cao = Caours, Cr = Crayford, D-R = Dunbridge-Romsey, E = Ebsfleet, ElF = Elbouf Fm., H = Hill Head, LC = La Celle, Nf = Newfleet, S = Swanscombe, SA = St Acheul, Wg = Woodgreen. Several sites have not been included as dating is too poor to assign them to an individual stage within the period (Furze Platt, Burnham Beaches, Yiewsley, Stoke Newington and Croxley Green).

The nutriscape; a schematic representation of dietary diversity in a transect from valley floor to plateau top in the English Channel region.
The scale (X axis) for each histogram is the number of species for each of the landscape zones. The variation in the total number of potentially edible species is to allow for more and less open forest cover.
