A small valley in southern England with an important series of loams and gravels spanning the last two glacial periods and intervening interglacial. Stone tools included Levallois flakes, but only a few hand axes and other tool types were found. The area has also given its name to a decorated pottery style of the Neolithic period. The first Jutes, Hengist and Horsa, landed at Ebbsfleet in the Isle of Thanet in 449 AD.

A small valley close to Swans-combe and Bakers Hole in southern England with an important series of loams and gravels later than the Swanscombe high-terrace deposits, spanning the last two glacial periods and intervening interglacial. Stone tools included Levallois flakes, but only a few hand axes and other tool types were found in the various levels. Both warm- and coldindicating animal fossils were found at different levels. The area has also given its name to a decorated pottery style of the Neolithic period.
