Hello, 38-35,000 years is told to be the age of the "leaf-point" (first image). If so, it is not a Creswellian item (not before 12,500)! Could somebody check the museum exhibit label?

Found this in The British Palaeolithic: Hominin Societies at the Edge of the Pleistocene World By Paul Pettitt & Mark White Routledge 978-0-415-67454-6 January 16th 2012 p;. 373 "Holocene and Mesolithic communities to come. As will be seen below, the British Upper Palaeolithic record is remarkably sparse and even the Late Magdalenian/Creswellian record of the first half of the Late Glacial Interstadial need represent, in our opinion, no more than the activities of one group resident for a handful of years."http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=U7VYXridvUgC&pg=PA560&dq=Paul+Pettitt+creswellian&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PkZWVPvKFoexaaKPgfgL&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=creswellian%20group&f=false] I'm not sure about including it without other comments - I know that Pettitt still rejects the term "Creswellian" and I'm not sure how much this one group idea is accepted by others.

Presence or absence of Bi-truncated abruptly retouched points is not enough to determine if a site is Creswellian. The 5 or six sites mentioned by Nick Barton are the best ones. The rest are questionable...

The chronology of the YD is not exact- our articles sometimes get out of date and we need to use the most recent ones, but they will still be is imprecise o plus the time lag of pollen response etc.... There was however a discussion between Blockley etal and petit etal a fw years back in jas which is useful on that. However the assumption that there was no occupation occured during the yd is tenuous- abscence of evidence is no evidence... We need more sites!!! (quoting from someone here).

Absence of evidence is not evidence. It sounds good but is not true. Many generally accepted theses, such as that the dinosaurs did not survive K/T, are based on absence of evidence. In the case of the YD there is a difference of opinion how strong the evidence is. Stringer says at [4] that human absence during parts of the YD appears to be a real phenomenon. Other experts disagree, as you say. The dates for the YD I have seen are c. 12,800 to 11,500 BP and I would be interested to see discussion on this.

Thanks very much for the paper, which taught me something about a subject which I knew nothing about. However, I am not clear that it throws any light on the dating. So far as I could see their dates for the Creswellian were all C14 uncalibrated, and they did not discuss the adjustment required for true calibrated dates. Or did I miss something? I will read Pettitt's book with great interest. Dudley Miles (talk)

The dates given for the Creswellian in this article of between 13,000 and 11,800 BP are wrong as there is no evidence of human occupation during the Younger Dryas glaciation c. 12,900 to 11,700 BP but I have been unable to find a source which spells out dates for the Creswellian clearly. The nearest is The British Palaeolithic by Pettit and White, pp. 434-89. They date the late Magdalenian in Britain to 14,670-14,090 BP. They discuss whether this is identical to the Creswellian and describe Creswell Crags as a late Magdalenian site. They follow this with the Older Dryas glaciation 14,090-14,010 BP - but say below that it lasted 200 years. This is followed by the warmer Allerød oscillation 14,010-12,890 BP and the Younger Dryas 12,890 11,560 BP, when Britain was probably unoccupied. This seems to be the best fairly recent chronology, dating to 2012, but it would be helpful if anyone has a source which is more specific about the Creswellian dating.
