Tardenoisian Sites on Oxenhope Moor. 
227 
While the level of the implements in the sand cannot be used 
in any strict stratigraphical sense, the fact that at Hambleton 
Top the chert projected into the sandy basal peat would suggest 
that the occupation was followed closely by the formation 
of peat, and so date the sites as late Boreal or even Boreal- 
Atlantic transition.
