Wansunt Pit
Wansunt Pit is a 1.9 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Dartford Heath between Crayford in the London Borough of Bexley and Dartford in Kent. It is important geologically because it exposes the Dartford Heath Gravel, and the relationship of this exposure to the Swanscombe sequence and the Thames Terraces is a controversial issue in Thames Pleistocene studies.〔(Natural England, Wansunt Pit SSSI citation )〕 ==Archaeology== The site is also important archaeologically. Excavations going back over a hundred years have revealed stone tools of Homo Heidelbergensis, dating from Marine Isotopic Stage 11, equivalent to the geological Hoxnian Stage, an interglacial period between 424,000 and 374,000 years ago.〔(Juby, Caroline (2011) ''London before London: Reconstructing a Palaeolithic Landscape'', Royal Holloway, University of London, Department of Geography, p. 94 )〕 Other finds include sixteen Bronze Age axes and seventeen Iron Age gold armlets.〔(Dartford Town Archive, Prehistoric Industry )〕
