The Valdoe Assessment Survey: Valdoe Quarry, Goodwood Estate, near Chichester
In 2006 a final phase of gravel extraction was planned at the quarry site, aimed at removing a strip of intact deposits in the north-eastern part of the quarry. Deposits likely to contain in-situ archaeology were being removed during this process. The work has demonstrated that future investigations in this landscape, combined with renewed research at the main Boxgrove site, will continue to drive our behavioural understanding of Middle Pleistocene hominins in northern Europe.

The Beedings Palaeolithic Survey, Pulborough
An archaeological excavation at a site near Pulborough has thrown remarkable new light on the life of northern Europe 's last Neanderthals. Finds in the deposits at 'Beedings' validate earlier discoveries from the 1900 and together provide a snapshot of a thriving, developing population – rather than communities on the verge of extinction.
