10 presents interpretive frameworks for the modelling of landscape
archaeology in the early prehistoric period from secondary
context archaeological data. Three current models of hominid
behaviour are reviewed, and modified interpretive frameworks
are presented (where required) for the analysis of secondary
context archaeology. The review assesses three recent models:
1. Gamble’s (1999) heuristic framework, linking locales and regions through the rhythms of social and technological behaviour.
2. White & Schreve’s (2000) framework of hominid colonisation, settlement and abandonment of Britain during the Pleistocene.
3. Ashton & Lewis’ (2002) model of late Middle Pleistocene population decline and possible strategies for re-colonisation.
