• Lithic Assemblage from Bevere - An archaeological prospection carried out in 1982, consisting of a random field walking surface collection, recovered 31 knapped stones and 1 hammer stone from Bevere, Worcestershire (NGR: SO 8410 5960). Although the assemblage contains no diagnostic dateable artefacts, a substantial number of the analysed lithics exhibit manufacture characteristics associated with Mesolithic stone tools typology. It is assumed that the lithic scatters represent a portion of some prehistoric activities, but whether multiple occupations occurred is not recognised. (Report made available by the Worcestershire Historic Environment Record).
