Red boxes mark the archaeological levels/units studied here. The photograph in (A) was taken by C. Finlayson and the maps/graphs in (A, B) were made by J.R. and J.R.-V. by using CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 and CorelDRAW X3 software. We would like to acknowledge S.N. Collcut and R.N.E. Barton for the permission granted for the use of the geological sequence of Gorham's Cave shown in C-left, courtesy of the School of Archaeology, Oxford.
