Murphy, PJ orcid.org/0000-0001-9660-7840 and Moseley, GE (2021) A uranium-series date from Wall End Cave, Silverdale, northwest England: its palaeoclimatic and archaeological significance. Cave and Karst Science, 47 (3). pp. 138-140. ISSN 1356-191X
Abstract
Uranium-series dating of a stalagmite floor from a relict cave in the Morecambe Bay karst indicates speleothem deposition occurred between 13,567 to 8539 years BP. Comparison with other cave archaeological sites where a stalagmite floor occurs in a similar stratigraphical position suggests the first human occupation of the region following the Last Glacial Maximum may have occurred in the early part of the Windermere/Late Glacial Interstadial.
